After uninstalling Sophos SSL VPN Client, windows gives the error message at start up: enter image description here

---------------------------
Sophos SSL VPN Client
---------------------------
Error opening registry for reading (HKLM\SOFTWARE\OpenVPN).
OpenVPN is probably not installed

I have checked windows Registry:

HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

And the StartUp folders:

shell:common startup
%PROGRAMDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp 

shell:startup
%AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

Task Manager startup section also checked.

There is a similar questions here, with an insufficient answer.

Where can I find the settings that starts up Sophos SSL VPN Client, so that it can be removed and windows starts without displaying this error message?

Check Task Scheduler, you will probably find that Sophos VPN Client starts from there.

Or, try Autoruns for Windows from Sysinternals
