Is there a watchdog equivalent in windows 10?

Question

Windows

Good afternoon, I program under Linux, there is a software watchdog that can reboot the system in case of trouble. It is easy to work with it - you open the device via open() and write a byte to it once in a certain time interval. If no one has written anything within a certain interval, the kernel overloads the system.
Is there a similar API in windows so that you can access it and reboot the system if no one pulls this API for some configurable time?

Perhaps there is some utility or service for these purposes?

PS. I have an Intel NUC platform, and there is a utility for it https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/29076/In...
But it suits me in terms of software and platform - it requires NUC7/8 and Windows Pro/E.
So the question is open!

PS. I am transferring a certain service that will not be serviced (only remotely) and this functionality is very necessary.

Answer 1

There is no universal solution. In fact, a watchdog is hardware garbage tightly tied to the hardware https://m.habr.com/ru/post/255261/ Here is one of the solutions. Another solution is to write a driver and stick it into the system, but as for me, this is a profanity if the system has reached the point where it does not respond, and the driver may not work.

Answer 2

Previously, I only encountered hardware on industrial computers.
Now Google has found such things .
