That's the issue, Apex Legends just launch then after the splash screen of EasyAntiCheat nothing shows up, no error screen whatsoever. Even the main window of Apex does not show up. When I monitor it in the Task Manager, the memory usage of Apex is stuck around 255MB then it disappears.

I installed Apex Legends and see the same problem. This has to be a bug in Easy Anti-Cheat or Apex Legends. Simply removing the driver file that's still loaded allows the game to load, so it must be crashing while trying to check the file. Any change to the driver file will trigger the problem, so it's not any particular change that's causing the problem. Signing the file without making any changes still allows the game to load, so it's not a code signing issue either. Making any change does break the WHQL signature, which is separate, but the problem still happens with non-WHQL drivers, so that's not the issue either. Even if Easy Anti-Cheat was trying to block the driver, that shouldn't cause the game to crash on load, and removing the driver file while the driver is still loaded shouldn't get around a block that easily.
