Windows 10 Action Center repeatedly shows notices whenever FortiClient updates or scans.

It seems whenever FC updates its databases, it briefly "turns off" according to Windows, which prompts a notification. It shows every minute or so while scanning, and if you watch Action Center while it's doing so, the AV status 'flickers' between on and off. Has anyone else had this/have a solution for it?

Same here, I've removed antivirus from our FortiClient profile for now for that reason. It drove users insane and promoted unsafe behavior.
