it is very difficult to determine exact causes from reports of window server watchdog timeout.


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, Bit Torrent, or a VPN that you installed yourself. They are relentless in scanning your files, non-stop, looking for virus-like patterns in Everything, or looking for files that have changed. When completed, they do it all again.


are you running anything like that?

Not running any third-party speeder-uppers, Cleaners, Optimizers, or Virus scanners, Bit Torrent, or a VPN.


Use Firefox with uBlock Origin and DuckDuckGo for my browser. Use Discord, and Dashlane most of the time. Play FFxiv.


Have very few additional apps beyond the baseline group provided by apple. These include PDF Expert, Zoom, PocketPatientMD, Adguard for Safari, XIV on Mac, Balder's Gate 3, Open Emu, and Steam none of which were running at the time of the crash.


It was warm but not hot at the time of the crash.
