Windows 10: After Disk Cleanup in Windows 11, the Updates in Progress Screen Appears on Every Shutdown...

Hello! I ran the disk cleanup tool as administrator on the computer cleanmgr.exe: And I checked all the boxes that appeared and it deleted them all. Then I restarted it. It was fine. On the second restart, the message "Updates are in progress. Please keep your computer on." came. And I didn't wait, I held down the power button and turned it off. This screen came up again at startup, but this time it was finished in a shorter time. After that, the following commands were problematic: dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth specific to cmd and powershell repair-windowsimage -online -resto

Hi,

Disk Cleanup tool is a useful utility in deleting junk files. There are probable reasons why your Disk Cleanup tool is not working properly. We suggest that you follow the steps provided below:

Method 1 - Delete Temp Files:

Removing the temporary files can help in making the Disk Cleanup tool working.

• Press Win+R and write %temp% in the open window and click
  Enter.
• The temp folders will become visible. Select the available temp files, perform a right click and select
  Delete.

Return back to the tool and try to start it to see if it is working.

Method 2 - Run Windows Update Troubleshooter:

Many times Windows update becomes responsible for Disk Cleanup issue. In this case, running troubleshooter is the best idea.
