Cortex XDR 8.2+ Not Able to Uninstall - Not Showing In Programs (Windows)

L1 Bithead

TLDR; Cortex dashboard shows EOL agents on Windows machines but upgrades fail, uninstalls fail, and Cortex is not showing as an installed program. However, Cytool can be disabled/enabled.

-----

We have a few machines with outdated agents. Using the Cortex dashboard and autoupgrades enabled, a handful of devices do not get upgraded but are connected and heartbeats are successful via Cortex dashboard. Cortex does not populate in either Programs/Features, nor through WMIC BUT I am able to enable/disable cytool. 

 

All research thus far has lead me to start this post. Have you encountered this?

I am also unable to run MSI uninstall since it relies on Registry - in which there is no hive/subkey for Cortex on these machines. But Cortex dashboard lists these endpoints with EOL agents.
