Free Forticlient VPN 7.4 drops connections on windows 11 leaving OSI layer broken

When using Teams and sharing my screens all kinds of updates try to occur. ( high bandwidtrh the VPN just drops ) it seems to always want to check for updates. and then with in minutes I'm disconnected, the vpn drops and destroys my ability to use the network at all. I am forced to reboot. Why we use this I do not know.

 

Here is a small sample of the debug level logging.

When it drops it corrupts the OSI layer and I have to reboot the machine. it leaves the computer un-connectable.

Do I have any options for any support from Fortinet?

 

Thanks in advance
