I'm having trouble booting into Windows 11 on my PC. It starts the boot process, but eventually, it just hangs with the loading circle. If I wait long enough, I end up with a DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION blue screen of death (BSOD). Sometimes I can get the PC to boot after multiple tries—anywhere from 3 to 10 attempts. I've run a windbg analysis, and here's the main detail: the watchdog detects a prolonged runtime at DISPATCH_LEVEL, indicating something is holding up the system too long. Any advice on how to fix this?

First off, make sure to check your data backups before tweaking BIOS settings or disk configurations, as those can sometimes lead to data loss. You might want to start with a BIOS update if it's out of date—that can often resolve these boot issues.
