    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 hate when companies do this, i found a quick dirty fix, if you see EA background service running in task manger, right click and select open file location, then delete the EABackgroundService application, i would make a back up of the file before deleting it, EA desktop will no longer open or run EAbackground service and if you want to use EA desktop just stick the file back in and everything goes back to the way it was.

i am not very techy so this is all i got.

    This is on the older side of time, I'm closing this thread to stop it from being necroed.
