Removing mtihint.sys and mticache.sys in C>Windows>System32>drivers worked for me.
High probability the anti-cheat is blocking the launch based on the files in drivers folder, the files need to be deleted/moved could differ based on the software's you have installed on your system.
I followed @lasop123 solution and then restored folders and files back to the original directory (C>Windows>System32>drivers) one at a time and kept relaunching the game till I found the exact files that were causing the issue.
Hope this helps 🙂
This did work for me
@k10FA This worked for me. Thanks!

I created a new folder, moved those two files into the folder, while still in the DRIVERS folder and Apex started right up, gonna do some test runs and see if its stable
===This fix was stable on my PC, I played about 10 games, some long some short, no hiccups, stuttering or killing to desktop+++
I didn't have these, but I was also able to solve my issue by making another folder in my windows/system32/drivers folder, and copying all allowable files into that folder. I will leave them there till this is patched I guess, I have no idea what the damage of doing this would be?
I had zero issues yesterday, and then today I got "Kmode Exception Not Handled" when trying to play the game.
Went through the process of letting my PC repair itself after the game froze for about 5 seconds. (My PC restarted itself right after the game had froze), after I got back into the game, I've noticed I had received a penalty for "leaving" ranked. (thanks Apex), and then when I got into another game, my monitor just went black and didn't respond to anything, so I forced shutdown my PC.
Whatever they did to Apex is messing with our PCs, as this ONLY started to happen with Apex. While my friend isn't able to launch Apex on Origin at all, sayng: "my game closed twice and froze once." So they just ran it through Steam.
I'm not sure what to tell you, when I was looking I was just hoping they'd be there so I could attempt the fix, now that they're they I just wish I knew what they are originally for
@xspcsx weirdly, this worked for me!

I'll keep it like this as well. Just made a new folder for these two within the same drivers folder. I was able to open and play Apex afterwards
Download this tool from EasyAntiCheat website, it will scan for any corrupted drivers\files that interferes with EAC

better than messing up your drivers and file paths 🙂 .
