Hi Johannes,
We have had a discussion with MS support and received following update from them. This service is no longer serving any purpose and going to be removed from the OS with following month windows updates.
"I understand that you are experiencing issues with the System Guard Runtime Monitor Broker service on your Windows Server 2022 systems after installing the January updates. It is important to note that the System Guard Runtime Monitor Broker service was intentionally disabled by default on Windows Server 2022 by updates released on and after January 14, 2025. This may result in the service failing to start or being terminated when an attempt is made to start it. The Service Control Manager may log an error indicating that the service terminated with a specific error code (event 7023) in the System event log.
Future Windows Updates are expected to remove the System Guard Runtime Monitor Broker service from Windows Server 2022, as it is not serving any purpose for consumer or enterprise customers. Administrators are advised to avoid attempting to enable or start this service until it is programmatically removed by a future update."
