Need to remove lock cylinder and I can't find the retaining screw. There is an odd, 6 pointed star shaped hole

Hi, can anyone help me figure out how the remove this lock cylinder please? I can see parts moving when the hand is lifted. There doesn't seem to be a screw in the hole but it's difficult to see in. Thank you.

Pull the handle down and look in the hole... is it a allen key screw that is recessed in...used to be fairly common

Are you trying to change the 'EuroLock' barrel? Looks to me that the barrel is retained by a Torx screw - the lower one is the security version.

The lower one is a cross head/Phillips, and is one of many holding the lock plate to the door sash...
