'''Timeout Detection and Recovery''' or '''TDR''' is a feature of the [[Windows]] operating system (OS) introduced in [[Windows Vista]]. It detects response problems from a [[graphics card]], and if a timeout occurs, the OS will attempt a card reset to recover a functional and responsive [[desktop environment]]. However, if the attempt was unsuccessful, it results in the [[Blue Screen of Death]]. This mitigates the scenario where the end user superfluously reboots their device should it become unresponsive.<ref name=ms>{{Cite web|url=https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/display/timeout-detection-and-recovery|title=Timeout detection and recovery (TDR) - Windows drivers|access-date=2022-03-23}}</ref>
