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 observe the same behavior and it is bad and needs to be fixed. If whatever needs to run while the launcher is open and I'm playing games, fine. But it should NOT be running when I manually close and exit the application. Please address this issue or make it an issue if this was the intention with creating EABackgroundService.exe to run permanently on every person's machine at all times.

I think its been making my computer crash too.
With an error that the service has timed out, even if I hadn't even opened EA Desktop during my current session, and while playing EA Game Titles.
