Windows 10 finally gets fix
Yesterday Microsoft released a preview update for Windows 10. Although I don’t recommend installing preview updates, this one is notable as it finally has the fix for the “Event Viewer displays an error for System Guard Runtime Monitor Broker service” bug introduced months ago. KB5055612 finally fixes the issue. While you could have “fixed” it by disabling the service, I always prefer to have Microsoft fix what it broke.
The issue was: “The Windows Event Viewer might display an error related to SgrmBroker.exe, on devices which have installed Windows updates released January 14, 2025 (the Originating KBs listed above) or later. This error can be found under Windows Logs, System as Event 7023, with text similar to ‘The System Guard Runtime Monitor Broker service terminated with the following error’. This error is only observable if the Windows Event Viewer is monitored closely. It is otherwise silent and does not appear as a dialog box or notification.”
Clearly, we have folks who monitor for such issues.
