Installed FortiClient recently but the challenge in disabling the application/service from running automatically on every start-up annoyed me. Attempt to stop
'FortiClient Service Scheduler' only return
'Parameter is incorrect' error message.
An article on
Technet help solve my trouble. To stop FortiClient from starting automatically, try the following:
Shut down FortiClient from the system tray.
Run
net stop fortishield on command prompt.
Run
msconfig.
On
msconfig, switch to the
Services tab.
Clear the
FortiClient Service Scheduler check box and click
Apply.Run
services.msc on command prompt to open up show all available services.Look for
FortiClient Service Scheduler. Switch
Startup type to
Manual.Restart your computer.
FortiClient should not be running automatically the next time round. Hope it helps.
