  • Very odd, I've not seen that before. When the installer runs, the SophoUI component is installed. The logs for the component's installer go to the installing user's temp directory, e.g. %temp%, E.g.

    %temp%\Sophos UI Install Log 2024-03-14 10-42-05Z.txt


    At the bottom of the log, it details that it is going to start the Sophos Ui.exe process for all active sessions:

    A Process Monitor log of the install shows Explorer.exe is the Parent of the Sophos UI.exe process:
