Here is a workaround for this issue:
No specific action is required, however, the service can be safely disabled in order to prevent the error from appearing in Event Viewer.
To do so, you can follow these steps:
1) Open a Command Prompt window. This can be accomplished by opening the Start menu and typing ‘cmd’.
The results will include “Command Prompt” as a System application. Select the arrow to the right of “Command Prompt” and select “Run as administrator”.
2) Once the window is open, carefully enter the following text:
sc.exe config sgrmagent start=disabled
3) A message may appear afterwards. Next, enter the following text:
reg add HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\SgrmBroker /v Start /d 4 /t REG_DWORD
4) Close the Command Prompt window. This will prevent the related error from appearing in the Event Viewer on subsequent device start up.
One trivial issue turned up in updating my 23H2 Windows 11 laptop. Somehow the little bell for systems notifications disappeared from the systems tray. When I checked all the notification settings, the check box for showing the bell was off, so I turned it on. I don’t remember if this setting was there before, but if so, it certainly wasn’t off. Maybe more Microsoft messing around, assuming of course that anyone else noticed this. If not, the paws of my 15 pound cat walking across the keyboard have found yet another mysterious keyboard shortcut for changing system settings.
