What does DCP watchdog violation mean?
Installed Windows with Bootcamp. It was successful, until this message came:
Stoppkod DPC WATCHDOG VIOLATION
What does it mean or what have I done?

I do hope you got my file via e-mail.
Since then:
I told my problem for the manufacturer of the SSD and got this answer:
Thank you for getting back to me, I really appreciate it! Regrettably your model MacBook Air 6,1 is not compatible with Windows/BootCamp. We state it on our site of the SSD on the main product page:
Note: Not compatible with Apple Boot Camp when installed in the following hosts: MacBookPro11,1; MacBookAir6,1; MacBookAir6,2; iMac15,1 (Late 2014); iMac18,2; iMac18,3; iMac19,1; iMac19,2
If you have anymore questions, comments or concerns please reply to this email and I'll gladly assist you further!
Thank you for contacting OWC, have a great day!
Sincerely,
Cicely B.
Technical Experience
You have a MacBook Air (11-inch, Early 2014) - Technical Specifications. I assume your Mac has three options in the BC Assistant list - Create, Download and Install. Are you using a USB2 Flash drive for the installer? See Install Windows on your older Mac using Boot Camp - Apple Support for reference.
Hm, Bootcamp wanted a lot of things – I used wifi to the internet,
WININSTALL as a USB with the whole Windows 10 and with 21 GB free space,
FORSETH-16G is a e-fat USB with 12 GB free,
The 2 GB stick is only a Y-front crossing (USB in there directions), since I hadn't more than a couple USB ports. One port is normally connected with an ethernet adapter, which I forgot in the mess.
Shall I disconnect all the three of them? And the: try to install Windows again? From what? Not from the stick, then.
Or will Bootcamp accept the already installed Windows on the partition?
The EFI Boot will point to the Windows installation on the internal disk. It is unable to boot from the internal disk, since the installation is incomplete. This is also the reason you see the stop sign.
Assuming you are referring to http://www.titlevision.dk/subeng.htm, my suggestion is to try VirtualBox and test it. It is not as graphics intensive since it is rendering video. You can install Windows using the VirtualBox interface.
Engineering CAD/CAM software like AutoDesk is not a good candidate for virtual environments.

Now I followed you distinctly, but I wanted to erase my first Windows, even if it didn't-t work as it should. This was not done, I couldn't find out how.
To delete the VirtualBox VM, you can use Machine -> Remove.
To remove the failed Bootcamp partition/installation, you can use Remove Windows from your Mac using Boot Camp - Apple Support.
So I did New Windows instead and was stopped on my product key. I have that nearby, so I didn't write it wrongly. Microsoft has probably registered my failed attempt; my produce key was alright then, I think.
During the installation of the W10, if you select 'I do not have a Product Key', you can still install W10, and test for 30 days. If you entered it correctly the second time, Microsoft will ignore the previous failed attempts. You should be fine.
Please test TitleVision and report any issues and we can try to address them. I am glad to see progress.
What is the year/model of your Mac (do not post the serial number)?
Can you post the output of
diskutil list
from macOS Terminal?
If you click on Fortsätt, does it successfully complete? If yes, does the last option become Install after the current partition is erased?
We can try either USB and test if the installer will work.
You do not want two Wininstall USBs. You should use the exFAT USB only.
Is the Aura X2 connected to the Mac through an adapter?
The link https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch01.html#intro-installing led to a fat instruction manual.
Year? Where can Ifind that?

Yes. I seemed to have done everything correctly – a partition for Windows was made and the ordinary content was still here outside that partition, which was full of pc contents. But the last thing was that message: "Stoppkod DPC WATCHDOG VIOLATION".
What violation was that? Was it, that I chose the wrong version (Pro instead of Home).
I saw nothing else than erasing everything and start again. I didn't get the question Home or Pro again, though.
Unfortunately… I now had an errand many hours outside the city. I left the installation on its las picture, where it says "do not stop or restart", but I forgot that the system will stop the disk, when resting. Now, having come back home, the same picture is still there (see enclosed).
I have chatted with both the Apple and the Microsoft chats. None understands what has happened. Microsoft could explain the stop code for me, but what had happened, they couldn't tell. They seemed totally unaware of Bootcamp's existence, thought it was a third party app.
But The Apple chat was equally disoriented on what could have happened.
My disk is an 1 tb SSD called OWC Aura Pro X2. It is divided into two disks, where one of them has the ending "– data". My deliverer says that is an anomaly. I should erase the disk and format it as only one disk. But before the crash, my hard disk itself appeared as two after one of the many upgrades, and Windows worked as normal then.
I can very well test to erase the whole disk, but that makes me nervous. The whole Windows seems to be the in the partition Bootcamp. It should just start.
The '- data' is normal under macOS, it is an APFS Volume, not a separate disk. Here is an example.
diskutil list
/dev/disk0 (internal, physical):
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: GUID_partition_scheme *1.0 TB disk0
1: EFI EFI 314.6 MB disk0s1
2: Apple_APFS Container disk1 616.0 GB disk0s2
3: Microsoft Basic Data BOOTCAMP 384.2 GB disk0s3
/dev/disk1 (synthesized):
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: APFS Container Scheme - +616.0 GB disk1
Physical Store disk0s2
1: APFS Volume Macintosh HD - Data 402.4 GB disk1s1
2: APFS Volume Macintosh HD 11.3 GB disk1s2
3: APFS Volume Preboot 82.6 MB disk1s3
4: APFS Volume Recovery 529.0 MB disk1s4
5: APFS Volume VM 31.1 GB disk1s5
macOS will create volumes (not disks) as necessary. I would not recommend trying to manipulate these volumes as separate physical disks.
Can you post the output of
diskutil list
from macOS Terminal?
