On several occasions, I've seen an "EA Background Service" with the Desktop App logo listed in the Task Manager's background processes despite my not having opened the EA Desktop App. At least twice, this happened when I'd restarted my computer since the last time I opened the app. Today, I got a "stopped working" error from the service, even though I'd restarted multiple times since the last time I opened the app. If anyone's interested in the error:

I understand that beta apps gather information for the benefit of developing the app, but it's a bit extreme to let it run when I haven't been using it.
I did have Origin open around that time, but Origin is installed on a different drive, and opening it just now didn't launch any extra background services.
