Sorry if this is a dupe, I didn't find anything in a search.
This is just a heads up to save others the headache I went through for about a week trying to figure out why Software Protection Service was bouncing every few seconds and why Task Scheduler wouldn't start: Time Broker!
Time Broker's description says:
Coordinates execution of background work for WinRT application. If this service is stopped or disabled, then background work might not be triggered.
Since I didn't want to use WinRT/UWP crap, I marked it as "Disabled", which seemed safe since it's normally "Manual". Well long story short, no, it's not JUST for WinRT! And of course &*#$ Microsoft didn't mark it as a required dependency for the other services!
