Summarize your bug The 'EA Background Service' automatically starts every time the PC loads up. Not only is this causing unnecessary bloatware of system usage. It also creates a problem where an Origin game will conflict because the EA Background Service is blocking access to launch. The solution to see is to default this service to only load up when the EA app is loaded up instead of having it up at system start. Requiring users to mess around in the 'services' tab and disable the EABackgroundService is not a good solution.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? 1. Have both EA App and Origin installed. 2. Load up Origin and attempt to launch game with EA Background Service in task manager upon PC start. 3. Confirm conflict.
What happens when the bug occurs? You cannot load up an Origin game until the EA Background Service in task manager is disabled. It uses up unnecessary resources as the EA App is not being used.
What do you expect to see? The EA Background Service must only load up when the EA app loads up and not upon PC start.
No extra information needed.
