game breaking error - event viewer shows error: 0xC0000035

Question

For the last few seasons of Apex I have noticed everytime I get this error "Session "dfa2c640-651d-488d-a479-2fd7a7ca6e29" failed to start with the following error: 0xC0000035" in event viewer the game stops running smoothly as normal. It happens in or between matches and is a noticable difference in game. My shots stop registering or everything appears to be laggy etc

Steps I've taken:

-Googled it but no clear solutions
-Tried fresh install of both Windows 10 & 11 (along with sfc /scannow and DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth, clean boot, disk clean up / defrag)
-Tried a range of Nvidia drivers
-I run apex & easy anticheat as admin & with full screen optimisation disabled
- installed Apex from both steam & EA app

System specs:

AMD Ryzen 9 5900x
32GB RAM DDR4
Nvidia 3080 12GB
Nvme 1tb gen 4
Internet connection 1gbps download, 150mbps upload, ping on test around 11ms, ping to server between 20ms - 40ms

Currently the only way for this to be "fixed" again is to either restart the game or PC. Sometimes if I have restarted the game a few times I have to restart the PC

Well still getting this issue, from digging around as much as possible it seems to be linked to Easy Anti Cheat but I cannot be sure. Within 2 hours of game play I keep getting the error below:&nbsp;Log Name: &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Microsoft-Windows-Kernel-EventTracing/AdminSource: &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Microsoft-Windows-Kernel-EventTracingDate: &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;04/12/2025 02:52:56Event ID: &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;2Task Category: SessionLevel: &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; ErrorKeywords: &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;SessionUser: &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;BEN\lgandComputer: &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;BenDescription:Session "dfa2c640-651d-488d-a479-2fd7a7ca6e29" failed to start with the following error: 0xC0000035Event Xml:&lt;Event xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/win/2004/08/events/event"&gt;&nbsp; &lt;System&gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;Provider Name="Microsoft-Windows-Kernel-EventTracing" Guid="{b675ec37-bdb6-4648-bc92-f3fdc74d3ca2}" /&gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;EventID&gt;2&lt;/EventID&gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;Version&gt;0&lt;/Version&gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;Level&gt;2&lt;/Level&gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;Task&gt;2&lt;/Task&gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;Opcode&gt;12&lt;/Opcode&gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;Keywords&gt;0x8000000000000010&lt;/Keywords&gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;TimeCreated SystemTime="2025-12-04T02:52:56.5264925Z" /&gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;EventRecordID&gt;636&lt;/EventRecordID&gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;Correlation /&gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;Execution ProcessID="18848" ThreadID="6032" /&gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;Channel&gt;Microsoft-Windows-Kernel-EventTracing/Admin&lt;/Channel&gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;Computer&gt;Ben&lt;/Computer&gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;Security UserID= **DELETED FROM ERROR MESSAGE** /&gt;&nbsp; &lt;/System&gt;&nbsp; &lt;EventData&gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;Data Name="SessionName"&gt;dfa2c640-651d-488d-a479-2fd7a7ca6e29&lt;/Data&gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;Data Name="FileName"&gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;/Data&gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;Data Name="ErrorCode"&gt;3221225525&lt;/Data&gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;Data Name="LoggingMode"&gt;256&lt;/Data&gt;&nbsp; &lt;/EventData&gt;&lt;/Event&gt;
