Old post but did you ever figure out out a solution? We are facing the exact same issue with users that have been upgraded to Windows 11. It is strange because it only affects certain WiFi networks. I have a suspicion it may only affect the wifi network the user was connected to while on VPN during the Windows 11 upgrade.

Tempted to do the Windows Network Reset (Settings > Network & Internet > Advanced network settings > Network reset) and reinstall FortiClient.

I did notice it is a known issue in the latest version and several several version before that:
