Can't disable tamper protection

I am unable on two computers to disable tamper protection. I log onto the Sophos Endpoint Protection using the tamper protection password. I switch the tamper slider to off and then try to go uninstall the software and it tells me to disable tamper protection which i have done.

I believe it may have stopped communicating with the Sophos Cloud.

Not sure what else to do next....

Hello ChrisBacker1,

please see How to disable Tamper Protection on how to disable it locally (revealing the password on Central, then entering it locally).

I have done that several times. Doesn't work. Still tells me to disable tamper protection when i try to go uninstall it even though I have entered in the tamper password from Central and turned off tamper protection locally.

Hello ChrisBacker1,

strange - TP locally disabled and a subsequent uninstall fails? Which OS - and from your first post I get it that you're not sure if they were/are working correctly?
Perhaps it's better to ask in the Central forum (there are subtle differences) and anyway contacting Support is also an option (AFAIK it's included with a Central license).

Hi Chris

I've just become a member of the Sophos community for the sole purpose of trying to get this same issue resolved. Was wondering if you discovered any solution?

THANK YOU CHRIS! Cleaning the registry files did the trick.
