Is there a setting to completly close the EA app on exit?

I recall a option on Origin that would shut the app down on exit but I can't find such option in the new EA App. Rather, the app will instead default to minimizing to the background but stay running....

Hey @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.
