How can I make the close button work? (the minimize, maximize and close buttons on the top right of the app)
When I click the X, it only minimizes the window. It should exit the program. How can I get that to work correctly?

I believe that this working as intended. To completely close the Origin client you can select Exit from the Origin menu (top left) or right click on the Origin icon in your task bar (bottom right corner) and select Exit.

So the close button is not working like every other apps close button and that is "working as intended"?

To be fair, Steam doesn't let you either. It's still a sh*tty practice, though. It is not in my best interest to do something I DON'T WANT TO DO. This is gaming, not a duel to the death. Here choice rules king. The only recipe for a good client is "ease of use" and "customization". Customization is just allowing the user to alter the client so that they can meet the "ease of use" requirement on an individual level. Simple. Do it.

I'm also having this issue. Origin should exit when clicking the exit button
