Community ManagerHey @LawnZ0mbie1,
No, there is no specific in-app toggle/option to completely close the EA app on exit.
The only way to completely 'shut down' the EA app is by clicking on Exit via the hamburger menu in the top-left corner of the app, or by right-clicking on the EA app icon in your 'hidden icons' area in your taskbar, followed by clicking on Exit.
Do you know if this function is still coming? Having to manually close the EA app through the taskmanager is an annoying extra step, and makes me want to use the platform less
What happens to my computer and my EA game if I shut down the background processes through the Task Manager? Recently upgraded my old desktop from 8.1 to Windows 10. I don't think this happened in 8.1 or maybe it has to do with more with Origin turning into EA. I really don't like it running all the time but I'm nervous that it will affect my daughter's Sims4 game and packs. There is too much money invested to lose anything or damage it.
@GLEAMFAR For me the issue was caused by Origin turning into EA. I had to close the background processes several times to start up my game (I had to do it every time I restarted by computer), and I never had issues with my game's content. All it did was remove the block that kept me from accessing the Sims' server, my game itself was unchanged.
