  • Check in your task manager if the app launches at start up. If it does, disable it. The option is also in the ea app settings.. but for some reason it keeps being turned on again after updates (at least for me). I hope this helps

    It's not in the startup apps? Turning it off in the app does nothing and it's always back on after

  • change the default graphics preference in Windows or the NVIDIA Control Panel to "Integrated Graphics" or "Power Saving" mode

    I have an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 4070 and haven't had this issue before. However, maybe this could help you? 
    To remove the tray icon and stop the application from running in the background, open the NVIDIA Control Panel > On the top menu select > Desktop > uncheck "Show Notification Tray Icon. (found on the windows help website)
