How to Fix the Clock Watchdog Timeout Error in Windows 11
A Clock Watchdog Timeout error refers to the hardware in your system, especially pointing out a problem with the way your system and CPU are communicating to one another.
The operating system informs the CPU when you instruct your computer to do a task, “interrupting” the processor to let it know what is going on.
This is a typical Windows function known as a “system interrupt,” which runs at the system level. You will have a blue screen problem if the system stays too long in the interrupt phase, sometimes referred to as the interrupt request level (IRQL).
Restart Your System
Restarting your PC is the simplest and most basic repair. A clock watchdog timeout fault does not always mean that your system is malfunctioning. It can be an issue that you can easily fix by restarting.
