Re: How do I prevent the EA app from starting with windows

@TippyBuckle8254 Hi if you are using origin, click on origin in the menu bar (top left corner) select Application settings scroll down to Start up options and deselect automatically start origin. this website is fairly standard, you have managed to post, where are you trying to navigate to?

Hey all,

So there are two settings actually that can influence this auto-start behaviour of the EA app.

Windows (10) Settings, this takes priority over the EA app in-app setting:

When this Windows (10) setting is enabled: if you have the EA app still active and you turn off the PC, despite having the in-app setting turned off, the EA app will start again upon the next sign in.

When this Windows (10) setting is disabled: only the EA app in-app setting can influence this behaviour.

EA app in-app setting:

Hope this helps!
