WindowServer userspace_watchdog_timeout.spin

[dono42]

A Mac Mini M2 pro running flawless with a clean install of 13.6.1 on 12/11/23. Up graded to 13.6.5 on 3/11/24 since then I have 4 userspace_watchdog_timeout.spin Panics. All applications freeze, desktop freezes, cursor still moves, timeout then back to the login screen. Syslog time stamp has sessionlogoutd[1869]: DEAD_PROCESS: 168 console. Has anyone seen this?

Without reviewing the kernel panic logs, it won't be possible to determine the cause, and even then it may not be possible to pinpoint the culprit. I would unattached any devices or hubs and see if the kernel panics continue.

Thanks @Bigwaff, I'll try the recommendation. I should point out that this unit from Apple refurbished initially had some quirky issues like finder search issues, then a clean install of 13.6.1 cleared everything up. It is clearly the upgrade to 13.6.5 caused the panics.
