    @WhatD4DogDoing I’ve noticed this as well, but the EA icon shows in the System Tray (the icons of running programs in the task bar, near the clock and sound options) for me and I can reopen it by clicking on it. Have you tried that?

    Yeah I've tried that, it doesn't work. It'll only work once I shut down the game.

    If it is in your tray, if you double-click the icon, it will expand the window again.  As your game starts, if you alt-tab out and double-click the icon, the app will stay open while you play.
