For info to others on the forum and the archive, this workaround worked in Matts case where he was reporting:
'When I go to add new services it lets me, but when I click OK to close the Monitors and Services window I get a dialog that says "Please wait: Disabling Active Discovery and Polling during updates...", which never goes away.
