    What is this error?

    SQLServer Error: 3908, Could not run BEGIN TRANSACTION in database 'msdb' because the database is in bypass recovery mode. [SQLSTATE 25000] (ConnIsLoginSysAdmin)

    Ah, that might be the issue.

    It seems there's some problem with your MSDB database, which might prevent the system to lookup if the Agent account has the necessary permissions, resulting in the startup failure of the SQL Server Agent service.
