I have an issue with freshly deployed sytem: after (successfully) installing and enrolling agent to fleet, the agent status is foreverin UPDATING state and it appears to be not running, although the service is in running state.
C:\Program Files\Elastic\Agent>.\elastic-agent status
Error: failed to communicate with Elastic Agent daemon: rpc error: code = Unavailable desc = connection error: desc = "transport: Error while dialing open \\\\.\\pipe\\elastic-agent-system: The system cannot find the file specified."
C:\Program Files\Elastic\Agent>.\elastic-agent version --binary-only
Binary: 8.0.1 (build: 6e9dd49b5da9c045125078bb95be9f0dc27e8263 at 2022-02-24 18:24:47 +0000 UTC)
The logs do not appear to contain anything informative:

I know this issue appears to be very common but I could not google a relevant topic.
Any help with diagnostics would be appreciated
