Apex Legends ‘untrusted system file’ error plagues new season—but there’s a fix

The new season of Apex Legends is an exciting one, with players eager to dive in and try out the suite of changes in the game. Unfortunately for many players, an “untrusted system file” error code is delaying those plans, but some intrepid legends have already found a solution.

The new season of Apex launched today, and the season 24 changes made so far feel fun. The weapon buffs and late-game armor nerfs have made fights feel much faster and force you to rethink how you approach enemies, while Ash’s buffs to her dash are snappy and fun to use. None of that matters if you can’t even get into the game, however, and some players encountered the “untrusted system file” error on PC whenever they tried to open their games after the season update.
