I think this was a service often listed as a requirement for SCOM or some of the MP's. If it were my system, I would disable the monitor or make it informational unless you find it to be a real issue. Likely just noise. Many of the core OS services do pretty well on their own.

Yes, I read the new OS management Pack guide earlier and found out how it has been disabled, I will update it.
Thanks

The service Browser still exists in recent operating system (also windows 2022), but not visible in services.msc. I think it still exists for compatability reasons. You can get the status by 'get-service bowser'
SCOM reports sometimes it's not running, but it is. It looks like a SCOM problem, we have 2019 UR3, will try UR4 soon.

 PS S:\scripts\startup> get-service bowser| fl *
