Community ManagerThere are some other situations that might be keeping it running. For instance, if you're using the Xbox app on your PC it will run the EABackgroundService. Likewise if you run an EA game through Steam or Epic, it will also run in the background. It should stop the background service when these clients are closed, though. Again, there may be a delay of a couple minutes after exiting the client or game before the background service stops.
I agree that EA should fix this but for me it does close after a minute or two but I use the solution I came up with because I still don't trust EA because all they care about is money not customers.
I haven't launched the app from steam or xbox or epic, I reloaded my computer not long ago and before it never closed but I also tested it on a virtual machine and it worked while running TCP view from here TCPView for Windows - Sysinternals | Microsoft Learn
