Uninstall Sophos Home does not work

Question

Have a W7 machine with the Sophos Home Premium and needed to uninstall, uninstalled and rebooted. After reboot Sophos Home is listed in installed programs, clicking uninstall again results in "Computer needs to be rebooted" 
 Found this https://community.sophos.com/kb/en-us/122709 
 But that did not work either .. in my case it was not complete. So i figured it out what worked for me 
 Copy this in a bat file 
 ** 
 net stop "Sophos Anti-Virus" net stop "Sophos AutoUpdate Service" net stop "sophossps" net stop "SntpService" net stop "SophosDataRecorderService" 
 sc delete SophosDataRecorderService sc delete SntpService delete sc delete SntpService sc delete sppsvc sc delete sophossps 
 :Sophos AutoUpdate MsiExec.exe /qn /X{D929B3B5-56C6-46CC-B3A3-A1A784CBB8E4} REBOOT=ReallySuppress MsiExec.exe /qn /X{9D1B8594-5DD2-4CDC-A5BD-98E7E9D75520} REBOOT=ReallySuppress MsiExec.exe /qn /I{60EC980A-BDA2-4CB6-A427-B07A5498B4CA} REBOOT=ReallySuppress :Sophos Anti-Virus (Endpoint) MsiExec.exe /qn /X{1FFD3F20-5D24-4C9A-B9F6-A207A53CF179} REBOOT=ReallySuppress MsiExec.exe /qn /X{1F1C2DFC-2D24-3E06-BCB8-725134ADF989} REBOOT=ReallySuppress

Hi RutgerDahmeijer, 
 Can you try removing the below registry key and then try uninstalling the software again? 
 1. Backup the registry before you make any changes. 
 2. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager and remove the key PendingFileRenameOperations 
 Let me know if that works.
