Apex Legends — Setup Guide
Complete setup and configuration guide for Apex Legends.
Before You Start
Close all games before proceeding. Run the loader as Administrator. Follow every step in order.
1Disable Windows Defender Completely
It is MANDATORY to fully disable the Windows Defender security suite using a specific third-party utility.
Tool Required: Use Defender Control (DControl) — download from sordum.org. Launch DControl and ensure Windows Defender is completely disabled.
Warning: If Windows Defender is not fully disabled using DControl, you will encounter a "Connection Failed" error when running the software.
2Disable TPM and HVCI (Core Isolation)
These system security features must be disabled for both security and functionality reasons.
- Disable TPM (Trusted Platform Module) — usually found in BIOS/UEFI settings
- Disable HVCI / Core Isolation / Memory Integrity — found in Windows Security → Device Security → Core Isolation Details
Security Warning: Keeping TPM enabled will compromise your data security and you will GET GAME BANNED.
