We are a small business with a single Windows 2016 Standard server running as a PDC. The system is also running DNS, DHCP, NPS/Radius and Hyper-V servers.
Hyper-V is running 3 VMs: (1) FreeBSD/pfSense router/firewall, (2) Debian/UniFi controller and (3) Windows 2016 Standard web/ftp server.

Over the weekend we decided to upgrade the hardware a bit and switch from BIOS/MBR to UEFI/Secure Boot/GPT.
The transition went mostly OK except for Hyper-V which would no longer start. We were only able to get Hyper-V working again by removing and then adding again the Hyper-V role in Server Manager.

Now the server appears to be fully functional except for one error 124 in the system log every time the system restarts.

Any idea what this error means and how to fix it?
