Hi guys; anybody is getting the DPC WATCHDOG VIOLATION error on build 10061 ?freezing and rebooting System
i checked on line that desabling tough pad will resolve the issue?
I've seen the WatchDog 'error' in Event viewer for a while, but not freezes or system restarts occur - just an entry in the event log.
You might try a Clean Boot (don't worry about the Win8 reference - should be the same for Win10)
See: Troubleshoot Problem with Clean Boot in Windows 8
I run my machine without any of the extra starts, I used to 'research the 'problem' startup, but now I just disable everything except Microsoft services.
The one caveat to that is: Leave your real time Antivirus (AV) startup entry enabled. Not all AV programs have a startup entry, some use the registry to do a pre-windows init quick scan (for example Defender does not have a startup entry)
This might be what you already posted - disabling the touch pad. That sounded to me as though you might venture into Device Manager to disable the hardware. I don't recommend doing that, just disable the early startup.
I'm not certain the touch pad is causing the WatchDog issue, or that the WatchDog 'error' is causing the freeze/restarts. They might be unrelated.
Anyway, try the clean boot workaround ... you will probably still see WatchDog (timer) issues, but hopefully your system won't freeze/restart.
Another thing to consider is installing bld 10.074
