BSOD when using spacedesk with iPad via wired connection
Quote from Hiroki on 16/10/2025, 06:57Our company provides iPads to employees for business use,
and we have installed spacedesk on those devices.One of our employees has reported a BSOD with the stop code
“CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT (0x101)” when using spacedesk to extend the display to an iPad via a wired connection.The crash occurs after about 20–30 minutes of use.
Before the issue started, the following settings were changed:
Increased the FPS setting in spacedesk(30 → 60)
Changed from “mirror” to “extended” display mode
Adjusted display scaling from 100% to 150%
Could you please let us know if similar cases have been reported,
and whether these settings could be related to the crash?
