So I have a few laptops in our organization that this has happened to now, I originally thought it was the most windows update that did it as both users advised that issue started occurring after a windows update. But after experimenting with one of the laptops I have wiped it multiple times now (as issue kept reappearing) my tests I started installing things one by one and rebooting. I started with our 7.2.5 installer and had no issue, but when I updated to 7.2.7 is when issue resurfaced. I then created a 7.2.7 installer wiped the laptop and first thing I did after joining our domain was install forticlient 7.2.7 and it issue immediately happened.
When the issue occurs the login screen flashes every few seconds and resets to the initial screen, it is painstaking to just reboot it into maintenance mode to use the recovery drive. It has happened on 2 different model of laptops (Surface Laptop 6 and Asus Expert Book) I have a bunch of laptops that are just fine running 7.2.7 on both models of these laptops.
I haven't been able to find anyone else having this issue and I am guessing it is some weird rare situation that is cause its only been 2 of 75 of our laptops that it has happened to but if I can't find fix for this it basically makes 2 of my laptops unusable.
Anyone else run into this or have a fix for it?

Hi,
not an actual solution but it helped working around the flashing login screen getting people back to work.
We've experienced the same, using v7.2.7.1116 and used the "FortiClient Endpoint Management Server" to downgrade to lower a version, by creating a new workgroup within "Endpoints", adding affected devices and assigning the deployment.
Necessary parameters:
kind regards!
You are a life saver! I didn't actually think of being able to use the EMS system for this, it wouldn't have saved me the hours finding that the forticlient was culprit but could have me some time after I did. Thank you very much for this, if you find the actual solution for issue please let me know I can at least run these machines on the older version for now.
Have the same issue on Lenovo devices, 3 devices of the same model have the issue but one device with the exact same installation doesn't have it - only difference is that the one without the issue has windows hello for business configured, the others not.
Tried to reinstall one of the laptops with issues already, still same issue, with 7.2.6 all is working fine, after upgrade (or fresh install) of 7.2.7 the issue starts after second reboot.
All devices have Win11 23H2 installed, don't have a Win10 22H2 currently to test. On 2 other Lenovo models i don't have the issue at all. Bios settings are the same too.
