Can try to do a clean boot to see if there any programs messing with Apex and turn off any overlay programs for example Discord or Nvidia experience.
 
Try running a CCleaner to remove old temp files and cache.
 
Let me know if this works or not for you. 🙂

@EA_Atic 

I turned off a few additional taskbar programs, they were:

- Roboform

- Plex

- Steam Launcher

- Epic Games Launcher

One of those services was the culprit, it had been so long I'd had a game be interfered with like that (by other programs) that I'd forgotten to do this.

However, although my performance is better in game the GPU usage remains at 100% consistently.
