Can I stop Sophos from starting at boot on Windows 10?

anos dieblo

I've been provided a Windows 10 Enterprise laptop by my department with Sophos Endpoint Agent installed. I have local admin access. Sophos sometimes comes up with false positives, but I do not have https://routerlogin.uno/ https://192168ll.link/ the Sophos admin password to be able to whitelist these events, and this password will not be shared with me.

Is there any way to stop Sophos from running at boot? I would like to install my own Sophos installation that I can control... but I would like to be able to allow the original Sophos Endpoint Agent to start up again if necessary. That is, I could completely uninstall Endpoint Agent, but I'd prefer not to go that route.

Thanks in advance.

    Hello anos dieblo,

    you don't really expect advice on how to manipulate an apparently locked setting, do you? As you say Endpoint Agent I assume this is Intercept X and thus centrally managed and modifications would show. Furthermore, neither whitelisting nor disabling the agent is the right way to deal with alleged false positives.

    You may also reach your local admin for them to validate if the said alerts were a false positive or not for them to proceed with the next course of action.
