&lt;p&gt;Thank you for reaching out to the Sophos Community.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Is this device still being managed by an organization? You can &lt;a href="https://support.sophos.com/support/s/article/KB-000036125?language=en_US#Registry"&gt;manually disable the Tamper Protection&lt;/a&gt;. However, you would need to be the Admin of the device to perform the steps.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Would you be able to at least acquire local admin access on this device? Once the Tamper Protection has been turned off, you may use the &lt;a href="https://support.sophos.com/support/s/article/KB-000038989?language=en_US"&gt;SophosZap &lt;/a&gt;tool to completely remove the Endpoint agent.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
