Windows 10: how to fix updates are underway please keep your computer on screen

hello there i just had a question how i can fix updates are underway please keep your computer on screen on my hp laptop, i have tried to force shutdown my laptop a few times and even waited for about4-5 hours. there any other way i can fix this issue

How to fix endless "Updates are underway."?

After installing the latest windows 11 update and restarting, my PC does not move past the "Updates are underway. Please keep your computer on" screen. I waited 3 hours, then attempted a hard reset, but it only went back to this screen. I waited another hour, then tried to enter WinRE by hard resetting and pressing F8 like I normally would. The text that normally shows up when WinRE is about to start flashes for a second, before the PC proceeds to go back to the "Updates are underway" screen. I cannot figure out how to even enter WinRE or safemode like I normally do.

 

Windows 11 Updates are underway. Please keep your computer on.

Yesterday I tried to troubleshoot a failed Windows update, I found an article on the community which suggested with a DISM command should be executed.

I ran dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth, but this stopped at 62.3% and would not continue.

I exited the command prompt and ran it again, but the second time it would not even start the progress indicator.

So I wondered if a reboot was in order, attempted to restart the laptop, but the black Windows screen with Windows 11 Updates are underway. Please keep your computer on. appeared.

I left this for a couple of hours but became impatient and rebooted the laptop. This time I get a blue screen telling me that the OS drive is inaccessible.

I have spent the entire day resetting the laptop as recovery would not work. After reinstalling, all seems to be well, but when I attempt to shut down, we are now back to the Windows 11 Updates are underway. Please keep your computer on. message.

I know it's halloween, but I'm having a nightmare!
