Apex Legends error 0x8000002

Hello EA Support Team,

I’m unable to start **Apex Legends** due to the following error message:

> **Integrity error 0x8000002**
> *Apex exited due to external tools that jeopardize gameplay integrity.*

---

### What I’ve already tried:

1. Completely **uninstalled and reinstalled Apex Legends**.
2. **Uninstalled and reinstalled EA AntiCheat**.
3. **Verified the game files** through EA App.
4. **Cleared EA App cache**, temporary folders, and `ProgramData`.
5. **Removed all third-party software** that might interfere with AntiCheat (MSI Afterburner, RivaTuner, OBS, Discord Overlay, antivirus software, etc.).
6. **Removed all virtualization-related software**, which I previously used **only for servers and web development** (like Hyper-V, VirtualBox, Docker, etc.).
   → The issue **still persists** after completely removing them.
7. Tried **running the game as Administrator**, in **Safe Mode**, and on **different drives** — no effect.
8. **Windows is genuine and fully updated**, with all drivers installed and no system modifications.

---

### Additional details:

* Other EA games work fine.
* No active virtualization, debugging, or scripting tools are present.
* I’m attaching a **screenshot of the error (0x8000002)**.
* I can also provide **dxdiag**, **msinfo32**, and **EA AntiCheat logs** if required.

---

Please help me understand **what files, drivers, or services** could be causing this *Integrity error 0x8000002* and how I can completely clean my system so the game can launch normally.

Thank you in advance for your help.
