Default Behavior
Display Policy Service is a Win32 service. In Windows 11 it starts automatically during the operating system startup. Then the Display Policy Service logs on as NT AUTHORITY\LocalService and running in a shared process of svchost.exe. If Display Policy Service fails to start, the failure details will be recorded into Event Log. Then Windows 11 should boot up and notify the user about the DispBrokerDesktopSvc service startup failure.
Dependencies
Display Policy Service cannot be started, if the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service won't start.
