"FortiClient Logging daemon - FCDBLog.exe" high CPU and RAM

FortiClient and its "FortiClient Logging daemon - FCDBLog.exe" process is permanently at high CPU (minimum 12% or 13% CPU, but up to 25%) and it uses up to 6 GB of RAM !!!!

Even if I shutdown forticlient, this process stays pending there, and consuming this CPU and RAM !!!

I tried to lower the log level to minimal (Alert or Emergency), but this does not change anything !!!

I just need a VPN client, I do not need a thread vulnerability scan or a logger or anything !!!

What can I do to get rid of this process (except from "uninstalling" this product, which is imposed to me by a customer) ??

Thank you,

Ju.

PS : This is maybe occuring because I have a new PC ?

I don't know what the process does but to disable local logging, you can go to Settings and uncheck all features for logging like VPN, Update, Vulnerability Scan, Telemetry if they're enabled.

But I think it's rather because of the FC version than PC version.
