EA App Minimizes to system's background tray?

Every time I open EA and then launch the Sims 4, the EA App is always minimized to the system background tray, and I can't open it?

I've tried to find a way to keep it open during gameplay such as settings, updates, etc. There is nothing. When I close out of the Sims 4, it opens right back up?

My girlfriend also plays the Sims, and it stays open for her and doesn't minimize. I'm honestly baffled.
