By far the easiest way to cause poor performance, instability, overheating and crashing is to install ANY third-party speeder-uppers, Cleaners, Optimizers, or Virus scanners. or a VPN that you installed yourself.
The idea that a third party, with no special knowledge of the inner workings of MacOS, can somehow find a simple way to protect your computer — that is not already being done by MacOS itself — suggests that the MacOS developers are somehow "holding out on you". That is absurd.
You should remove any and all (other than Apple built-in) virus scanners, speeder uppers, optimizers, cleaners, App deleters or VPN packages you installed yourself, or anything of that ilk.
Third-party file Sync-ers such as DropBox, BackBlaze, OneDrive, or GoogleDrive can ruin performance, but are not inherently dangerous.

To determine whether added software is the problem, run in Safe Mode, where no third-party items are loaded.
"Works in Safe Mode, Fails in regular mode" implies, "it's something you added."

A Watchdog Timer is set up when a task needs a response at some point in the distant (milliseconds) future, and it makes no sense to sit in a loop and wait for that response, but you need to make sure something happened.
In your case, the watchdog timer for WindowServer, the task that draws the screen, expired after 120 SECONDS of no response from WindowServer task. WindowServer task has not exited in the meantime, it just did not respond as it was supposed to.
Since the watchdog timer fires in the middle of doing other things, the stuff 'at the scene of the crime' is un-related.
