    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"

This does not fix the service still running after closing. This issue alone was enough for me to uninstall EA Desktop. I don't want services running in the background that I have to manually go out of my way to kill when I close the software.

Yeah, you're right. On my rig, it's just a temporary workaround (at startup) as the execution of the service is tied to the xbox app if you subscribe to EA Play for example. The EA Desktop App simply just doesn't work if it is disabled completely.
