Failed to install savxp: uninstalling an older product failed.

Most likely Post WINDOWS Monthly Patch Installation, Sophos status is broken.

We started the Windows updates rollout this week and already have multiple devices with this issues now.

Ex- This device was all okay once the update was installed and rebooted Sophos events shows this error.

Anyone else with this problem?
