Hey JeffroMan,
Have you ever had this program working on your computer?
It looks like the Intel Watchdog Timer Utility on the Microsoft Store is made for Intel NUC platforms, so that might be a reason why it doesn't work.

I use the XTU utility often but never had the watch dog timer driver installed. I didn't even know what the Intel NUC platform is until I just now looked it up.
There is no driver installed for the System Timer as reported by Device Manager. When clicking on Update Driver, Window reports that the best drivers for that device are already installed. It's my understanding that having the Intel WatchDog timer increases functionality of the Xtreme Tuning Utility.

I am having the same issue - but I do have a potential root cause as well. Tried re-installing XTU multiple times, updated all drivers but nothing did resolve / change the issue at all. Then I tried, as a last attempt, to upgrade my BIOS from version 2403 to version 2703. That resulted in all settings being reset and all profiles lost - on the other hand after restarting the PC, with default settings, the Watchdog was present and changes in XTU (e.g. voltages or core frequencies were available after a restart.
Then I activated the XMP profile in the ASUS BIOS and, all of a sudden "Watchdog Present" went to false again. Thus it seems that there is a glitch in the ASUS BIOS causing the watchdog no longer being availabel when deviating from the optimized default values in the ASUS BIOS.
So I am concerned we will have to deal with the confusing BIOS interface to do some overclocking (even the simple steps) - might be me used to the BIOS of a competitor but I hardly could find where I can activate the XMP profile.
