Sophos Endpoint - Service Sophos Autoupdate stopped

Hello,

 

we often have the problem with the service Sophos Autoupdate stopped. Sophos Enpoint is in error state until we re start the service manually (or restart the computer).

 

 

Can you help me to find a definitive solution? Thanks !

  • Hello Julian Cast,

    we often have the problem with the service Sophos Autoupdate stopped
    this is definitely not normal, that the service is stopped should very rarely be the case if at all.
    You say you can start it manually - there should be an event or error in the Windows Event logs (Application, System) that tells when and perhaps why it has stopped. Please also check the latest ALSvc2020... and ALUpdate2020... logs in %ProgramData%\Sophos\AutoUpdate\Logs\.
