Re: EA app on startup - Malware?

Hello!

I agree, the EA App is a lot worse than Origin.

Luckily, there is an option to disable the EA App on startup, if you click the icon in the top left, then go to Settings > Application. If you've already tried that and it's still opening on startup, then it sounds like that's another bug, unfortunately. 

I hope you have a good day as well!

  • @Coraychi I've switched off the "launch on start-up" option and it still keeps starting up, even interrupting me during university presentations. Sooo annoying that it doesn't even show up in the Windows start-up settings.

    same here, did try to disable/remove the service but it keep comming back.
    i tried to go back to origin but it instant give a popup to force to install ea app and i can't do anything aside from closing origin or installing it

    no entry on the task manager under startup too

    very much like malware behaviour yea :/
