After installation of BigFix client service of the BigFix client stopping randomly.
After checking the windows log, I found
I’ve never seen that message before related to BESClient. That’s a general Windows error, it doesn’t necessarily mean that BESClient is causing the error. It could mean the system is under too heavy a load or has a runaway process, and Windows is stopping BESClient to free up resources.
It could also indicate a problem with EDR / Antivirus configuration, have you added the exclusions needed for BESClient?
What operating system is this, and what version of BigFix?
Have you tried rebooting yet? Is this only occurring on one machine, or several?

Yes.

Win11

11.0.2

Not yet.

I found this behavior 2 machines
I think you probably have bigger problems than BigFix on these two machines, but it may be worthwhile to open a support ticket anyway and let the team help you troubleshoot
Okay Thanks for your suggestion.
How about enable versbose logging on the client to see if any activity in the verbose client logs can be linked back to the timeline of the service stopping?
Do you have network based roaming user profiles? See a few hits on Google for that error that link to network based user profile paths. Maybe you have content inspecting user folders and are getting redirected to SMB and hits some form of limit that causes the service to stop?
