Re: EA Desktop Background Services not disabled using toggle in Application Settings

Despite what I've heard, there is no "background services" option in its settings, nor does EAD even show up as an app in the "background apps" windows settings menu. It uses an inordinate amount of processing power for a background application AND pops up in a window on the bottom when I close it. Is there any real, actual way to disable it, or is all this difficulty on purpose so that I have to have an EA app constantly run in my background just to play one or two games sometimes?

    Because nobody at EA wants us to be able to stop it from running in the background. Just uninstall it, their games are crap anyway.

    Of course I know that, every time I do that it makes me manually log back in again. I shouldn't have to use task manager to stop this bloatware from running 24/7, which it has no reason to do whatsoever.

    @EA_Atic The question is how to stop the program and background services from running when not in use, not how to terminate after closing.
