    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"

Reinstalled the beta today to see if they by chance fixed it recently. The background process still remains after closing the application so I immediately uninstalled once again. At this point I'm very doubtful they are ever going to get rid of the background process when EA Desktop isn't running. Wouldn't even bother me if it wasn't a root cause of my PC crashing at one point, not willing to test to see if it doesn't happen anymore. There's no reason for a background process to remain when you've selected in the options to not have background services running when you don't have it open.
