Automatically remove EA app when it appears on the desktop in Windows

This is easily done using AutoHotKey v2 or later.

Install autohotkey then copy this script into a new text file. Name it HideWindowOriginapp.ahk (Don't include "EA" in your script file name). Or you can create a new script how ever you like. Double click on your new script file. The F12 key starts it running and it will run until it is closed.

F12:: {
   SetTimer HideEAapp, 250
   HideEAapp() {
      if WinExist("EA") {
         WinHide("EA")
      }
}

No more EA app window until you close this script. If you never want to see the window even as a small flash then change the SetTimer period from 250 to 100 or 50.

  • This script is actually a lifesaver, especially for those of us juggling gaming and study. I used to get distracted every time the EA app popped up, so hiding it this way helps a lot when I’m focused on assignments or even just reviewing grades.

    Speaking of which, I recently found this super handy tool to calculate GPA online that makes tracking academic progress way easier while gaming on the side.

    Also, if anyone wants this AHK script to auto-start on Windows boot, let me know. I’ve added that setup too.
