"watchdog timeout" panic. Very common for Catalina. Not so much for High Sierra.

You have the following 3rd party kernel extensions

com.fortinet.fct.kext.ipsec	1
com.aladdin.kext.aksfridge	1.0.2
com.paragon-software.filesystems.ntfs	106.5.15
com.Cycling74.driver.Soundflower	2
com.shinywhitebox.iShowU-Audio-Capture	1.0.4
com.kensington.trackballworks.driver	1.3.0
com.usboverdrive.driver.hid	3.2

I would start by doing some house cleaning.

A watchdog timeout panic happens because something interferes and prevents the software that is suppose to reset the timer never gets a chance to perform the task before the timer times out.

A kernel extension is very capable of keeping macOS from scheduling processes on a timely basis, as a kernel extension cannot be paused, interrupted, nor killed while the process thread is in kernel address space.

Thank you for the explanation as well. . Already started with the usb overdrive removal , the kensington trackball software (which removing cause a crash by the way, don't know if that was the sole cause but it froze and went down) . I reinstalled updated Kensington software. Fortinet is work software so I have to keep. Cycling 74 , paragon , aladdin I have to check out see what they are hooked to. I also got an updated Font Doctor and went through all the fonts and offloaded a ton of old software in applications. Fingers crossed . I also shut off Adobe Creative Cloud it has tons of junk running through my system like core software helper that is like a leech on the finder.
