Windows 10: Computer frozen - windows update

I am doing a windows system update. The computer is frozen with the message - Please wait while we install a system update. Power button isn't working as I think the update has locked it down. So I can't restart. Update has been like this for about 15 hours now. The only option I can see is to unplug the computer, drain the battery and see if I can restart after that. Does anyone have any experience with this. Thank you.

Windows 10 'we couldn't complete the updates'

1. How can you access Troubleshooting if everything is stuck/frozen? Your tips suggest going to certain parts of Windows but that's the issue: it's frozen and nothing is accessible or responsive (ie, mouse pointer doesnt move, "Don't turn off computer" no
longer animates).

2. I've tried powering off/on but the machine re-enters a "Don't turn off computer" blue screen of death, and we're frozen again.

Please advise explicitly.
