Default Behavior
Display Policy Service is a Win32 service. In Windows 10 it is starting automatically when the operating system starts. Then the Display Policy Service is running as NT AUTHORITY\LocalService in a shared process of svchost.exe along with other services. If Display Policy Service fails to start, the failure details are being recorded into Event Log. Then Windows 10 will start up and notify the user that the DispBrokerDesktopSvc service has failed to start due to the error.
Dependencies
Display Policy Service cannot be started under any conditions, if the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service is disabled.
