Newest Apex update causes system crash on launch (BSOD) every time you try to start it, on Windows 10 build 18912 (newest build) Insider Preview. The BSOD says the module at fault is EasyAntiCheat.sys.

I guess all games running EAC have the same issue, like for honor and insurgency sandstorm. Besides, they still not fix the BE crash so no siege or PUBG either.

Yep, and Rust just updated EAC to the same kill-your-PC-if-you're-an-Insider version too.
Running out of games to play here... I guess game devs don't bother looking at the upcoming OS versions they expect their games to run on before pushing patches.

The first thing that jumped out at me from your Dxdiag was the fact you are on an Insider Preview edition of Windows 10.

Still havent tried punkbuster yet so maybe it's time back to BF4 or just go play some single-player games.
