Start by reproducing the issue with the winget upgrade command and ElectronicArts.EADesktop, then inspect the WinGet diagnostic logs referenced in the environment section. Trace how installer completion and reboot requests are handled; done means the upgrade completes without an unprompted PC reboot and the app remains available.
