SSL VPN client 5.2 vs. 5.4 logon before Windows differences

[michellem812]

I have a Windows 10 machine with FortiClient 5.2 set with SSL-VPN Remote Access set to "Enable VPN before logon". At my Windows 10 logon prompt, I have 3 boxes - Windows username & password, and a dropdown so I can choose either the saved VPN or 'none'.

I put FortiClient 5.4 on another Windows 10 machine and the initial Windows logon no longer has the dropdown to choose whether to use the VPN or not - instead I had to click on the Forticlient icon first and then enter the Windows username/password.

Is this just an issue with how my Windows is setup, or is this the new method with 5.4? I tried to find documentation about how the Forticlient 5.4 interacts with Windows 10 logon but couldn't find much information. I would have to retrain some users on how to connect to VPN, so I'm trying to get more information on whether this is the new method or if it's just an issue with my computer.

TIA,

Michelle
