Origins not shutting down

  I decided to try DAI again, as a Rogue.

Playing is okay, as I have finally  gotten some graphics mods that improve the ugly character creation, and horrible default faces in this game. ( down side, have to turn them off to go to the Black Emporium ☹️

  But now when I shut down the game. Origins does not shut down with it.

I am unable to right click on the icon next to the clock, and bring up a menu to shut it down ( or rather I can right click on the Icon, but no menu pops up ). There is no normal user friendly way to shut it down.

   I have to do the three finger salute ( Ctr, Alt, Delete ) then hunt for the application, I find  two or three things that are totally useless Origin created services, there I have to force shut down, these will also stay on like for Ever if I do not disable them in the service, and they are useless to me.

I think is rude to start something Many people have absolutely no need for, and has such a potential for miss use by you or one of your employee's.

   It is worry some, as so many take advantage of every ones info, I get really upset seeing things that I don't need, and even more upset when they do not shut down when I finish using whomever s product.

    Can you close it through the main window's dropdown menu? I'm not at my gaming PC right now, so I don't know exactly what it's called.

    I agree. I think it's a good step that EA is now releasing more of their older games DRM-free on GOG, but newer games are still Origin exclusives. I think this should definitely not be a requirement in games that are mainly single player. Dragon Age Inquisition even uses third party DRM (Denuvo), so the anti-piracy excuse doesn't hold up.
