    I found it. its connected to a windows service:

    Windows key --> type in services --> click on the services app new windows opens --> click in it --> type "e" to navigate to the "EABackgroundService" --> right click --> properties --> change start type to "manually"

I was playing a game not from Origin/EA Desktop and had huge lags. I thought it was my internet connection messing up but eventually I checked task manager and saw the EA desktop app running in the background (despite me not opening it in a few days) consuming 30 MBPS of bandwidth thus causing huge lag in game.

    @crnossunce Wanted to check if this happened for both the Origin Client and the EA Desktop one?
