Tray icon disapeared

This started yesterday. Since the settings have been stripped of all essentials, the app doesnt actually close when clicking X like any other window. It just goes into the background but usually the icon of the app shows up in the tray like other launchers do. But now the ea app doesnt do that anymore. I was wondering why it was starting so super fast after I "closed" it. So I checked the task manager and it was already running without any way to open it unless I click the usual shortcut to start it.

The app looks more and more like a virus to me. They really want the app and the background service to run at all costs, hiding the app from users.
