Why is origin auto launching
EA Origin launches automatically even though I have it disabled. Had to uninstall the software as it's clearly malicious if it's launching without me requesting it to do so. Just puttin this up so ...

Thanks for your input!
It's for Windows but that setting is disabled in both the App and in my Task Manager startup section, this is why it's problematic.
The app is launching automatically after I've explicitly told it not to, and NOT on Windows startup. Just randomly. Sketch and a half, and coming from EA of all companies only doubles down on the sketchiness of it all.
I have all my stupid game launchers disabled at boot because I don't need 17 worthless apps at all times (I'm still annoyed that companies like EA and Ubi decided they needed their own at all) but EAs is the only one that thinks it knows what I want better than I do and decides to launch on its whims.
I have exactly the same problem as you, all options off to prevent it auto launching. And I have the services set to manual in windows even, so they should only start when prompted by the application to do so.
It does not come up at start up, it happens usually when I leave my PC on at night. I wake up to the EA app being open. I've had this on numerous installs of fresh Windows now, so I know it's the app that does this. To call it sketch it an understatement. It's completely absurd, and there is no reason for it to do this.
