Hello Jesse,
Sorry for the inconvenience caused.
Did you install AVG Antivirus program on your PC or do you have any other third party antivirus program installed on your PC?
From when you started getting this watchdog initialization message?
hi
my computer is stuck at "phase 1 : finished" after "starting watch dog initialization" when booting up
any ideas how to resolve this? It's not frozen because the cursor can be moved but the proces is stuck.

Thank you for the detailed information.
This watch dog service is always related to an antivirus program.
So if you have antivirus program installed then this message is related to it.
I request you to uninstall the Antivirus program in safe mode and check whether the issue gets resolved.
I remember seeing it once before but i boot up from ssd so the booting up proces is quicker than my monitor. It's perfectly possible it was always like that but this is the first time it got stuck at that.
It started after installing a faulty driver update for my nvidia graphics card so i turned off the computer and pulled out my gpu so i could boot up and restart in safe mode (win 10 AU x64) and uninstall the faulty driver and roll back to the last working driver after plugging back in my gpu.
