Hi All,I need some expert opinion for my issue that is being caused by the FortiEMS Client. CPU behaviour:When downloading a test file, the CPU would remain at 100% consistently.Testing with another laptop performing the same download showed CPU around 45%, indicating normal behaviour.FortiClient observation:When FortiClient Fabric Agent (EMS) was enabled and the machine was on fabric, CPU usage during downloads would spike to ~100%.When FortiClient was disabled / off fabric, CPU usage dropped to ~40–50% during the same download test.This also causes network drop, teams issue and many more other problems that is related to network. The on-fabric feature currently has all modules disabled except for the system module, yet the CPU spike still occurs when the endpoint is connected to the fabric. The issue has been confirmed to be caused by the FortiEMS Client. My version is 7.2.8. Case has already been raised but I am not nearing or anywhere close to the solution.

Hi All,

I need some expert opinion for my issue that is being caused by the FortiEMS Client.

CPU behaviour:

When downloading a test file, the CPU would remain at 100% consistently.
Testing with another laptop performing the same download showed CPU around 45%, indicating normal behaviour.

FortiClient observation:

When FortiClient Fabric Agent (EMS) was enabled and the machine was on fabric, CPU usage during downloads would spike to ~100%.
When FortiClient was disabled / off fabric, CPU usage dropped to ~40–50% during the same download test.
This also causes network drop, teams issue and many more other problems that is related to network.

The on-fabric feature currently has all modules disabled except for the system module, yet the CPU spike still occurs when the endpoint is connected to the fabric. The issue has been confirmed to be caused by the FortiEMS Client.

My version is 7.2.8.

Case has already been raised but I am not nearing or anywhere close to the solution.
