Hi LidsTTV​,
Sorry to hear Apex suddenly stopped launching after working normally earlier. I can understand how frustrating it is to keep getting the permissions prompt only to have the launch fail right after.
Since you’ve already reinstalled the game, checked for updates, and tried running everything as administrator, please also try:

Clear the EA app cache using App Recovery.
Use the Repair option for Apex Legends in the EA app.
Fully close the EA app and EA Background Service in Task Manager, then restart the EA app and try again.
Restart your PC after completing those steps.
