Hello

 

We have some issues with Forticlient: FCDBLog.exe (FortiClient Logging daemon) process almost all the time using 3-5gb of RAM.

I tried FortiClient and Windows update to the latest versions. Fix system files (sfc /scannow, dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth), scan computer for malware - nothing helps.

 

How to investigate what was happening?

    I have the same problem. The size of the process grows steadily until I restart windows. After about 4 days without restarting Windows, the process has 2.6GB of RAM

    Then the whole windows will start to slow down significantly and there is no choice but to restart computer again.

     

    Forticlient version: 6.2.8.1012

    Windows 10 Pro  19042 (64bit)

    RAM: 24GB
