Endless Infuriating Issues with FortiClient

So,

Another day, another forticlient problem. I am starting to hate this software with a passion that burns like 1000 fiery suns.

This time, brand new laptop, Windows 11, 64 bit, installed 7.4.3.1790 and created the IPSEC Tunnel. It seems no matter what I do, nothing is leaving this laptop. Packet trace and logs show no attempt to make an outbound connection. Seems like forticlient isn't connected to the forticlient virtual adapters.

I have tried reinstalling clean about 5 times, removed the ipsec vpn profile 10 times.
This is usually all deployed with a script but I have tried manual and scripted.

Different user doesn't work on this device, same login different device works fine.

A packet trace and logs indicate there is no attempt to make an outbound connection.

I am tearing my hair out.

I have tried an earlier version of the Fortclient, still no dice.

I'd be super grateful if there is a tip to resolving this that doesn't involve blowing away the OS.
