Hey Everyone,
The EABackgroundService runs in the background so the EA app can run automatic app updates and download game updates in the background.
If you'd rather not have it running, you can disable automatic app updates and background game updates in the EA app settings.To disable automatic Application updates:
- Click the Menu icon (3 horizontal lines) at the top left of the EA app window
- Click Settings
- Click the Application tab
- Click the toggle next to Application Updates as shown in the image below:
To disable background game updates:
- Click the Menu icon (3 horizontal lines) at the top left of the EA app window
- Click Settings
- Click the Download tab
- Click the toggle next to Enable background downloads as shown in the image below
Once these settings are disabled, the EABackgroundService will automatically end after you've shut down the app. Please note: there will be a minute or two delays before the process ends once you've closed the app.
Everything was disabled and I still had the background app running if I did not stop it manually.
But the last upgrade seems to have solve the problem and now the service stop by itself a few seconds after I close the EAapp.
In response to EA_Shephard I tried this and this DID NOT shut down the ea background service. I had to manually shut it down in task manager along with the other ea app stuff still running after I closed the ea app. I know it tries to stay in the tray minimized so I forced the ea app to quit from system tray and the background service along with the other crap was still running.
100% fits the definition of malware. Nothing will convince me this isn’t a back door into the systems to hunt for justified sailors of sailboats. No matter what Shepherd says
