FortiClient console crashes after choosing a certificate for a VPN

[Bruce42]

Windows 11 (intune enrolled), FortiClient 7.4.0.1658.

If I setup a VPN that doesn't have a certificate associated with it, I have no issues.

But if I associate a certificate with a connection, about 2 seconds later the console crashes. If I open it up again, it will crash a couple of seconds later.

It doesn't log an error at the time it crashes.

I have to uninstall and reinstall again to get it stable again but can't associate the connection with a certificate.

Anyone got any thoughts?

I have 364 certs in the local computer \ personal \ certificates store. Colleagues I've polled who aren't experiencing the issue have about 5 certs here... Chatting to our intune guru at the moment to see if this is where they have come from and what I can safely do about it...

https://community.fortinet.com/t5/Support-Forum/FortiClient-crashes-after-2-seconds/m-p/337631 was the answer.

Last year, intune put over 350 certificates in Certificates - Local Computer\Personal\Certificates. Don't know why. InTune guy said it would be OK to remove them.

I have tested versions 7.4 and 7.25 (both paid and free) and all work now.

It would be great if the forticlient console handled this situation, or at the very least gave a meaningful error message rather than just quitting.

Thanks @AEK for your suggestions along the way.
