Apex Legends process not closing whenever exiting game.

I've been having a problem with Apex Legends not ending whenever I quit the game. This has been going on for a long time now. I tried quitting normally, or using Alt + f4.. same result. 

I have to restart my computer to close it (to free ram memory)  because even task manager doesn't forcibly end the task. 

I thought this was only a problem in the origin launcher but apparently happens in steam as well. 

Please help. Thank you!

  • So I haven’t found a full fix yet. But for the people who close the game and it won’t close. If you go to the EA launcher and click the three lines at the top left and hover over Help then click restart app, it will fix it , and everytime it bugs out just do this instead of turning off your pc , and I believe with the steam version you have to press CTRL then R and it should restart steam, I’ve tried closing in the task manager but all I get is a error when I try to load back up,
