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....

Use task manager to fully close the EA App service.

this doesn't even fully work. I have a total of 1 game on the Epic store that's linked to EA. If I run it a single time, and then shut down all EA processes in task manager, it somehow manages to open itself when I launch literally any other game on the Epic launcher.

    If you have the XBox app installed, this is one possible cause because it has EA integration. If you go to your profile pic -> Settings -> Extensions you can disable the EA App integration. For me doing so immediately closed the processes EA had in the background without me needing to end task or click anything in the system tray etc.
