Win 10 - r5apex.exe - Application Error - Possible work around

I've been having the r5apex application error then EAC saying the gdiplus.dll blah blah is a suspicions file or whatever. Win is updated and gfx drivers are too. i tried restarting my computer and then game launches just fine. Then later I try to play again same error...

The work around is to just close origin and launch the game from the shortcut. No errors this way.
