Windows 10: My windows 11/10 I forgot which one is stuck on "updates are underway " screen.

So my Lenovo laptop windows 11 is stuck resetting. One time a while ago, I turned it on and it brought me to an "updates are underway" screen. I waited for it to finish, but every time it did, it just happened again. Once, I left it on for three days, and that didn't work. I tried resetting the whole thing, but nothing helped. I couldn't even get to the log in screen.

Windows 11 stuck on updates are underway at 100%

I've just downloaded the latest update to Windows 11 on my surface laptop 4, but it's now stuck on updates are underway at 100% and has been for about 30 minutes so far

I'm nervous about restarting in case it screws up my windows installation, and I also don't have access to any other windows 11 pc to make a recovery drive

 

Windows 11 stuck on updates are underway afrer restart.

Every time i restart my computer inside of windows it gets stuck on updates are underway and the only thing that helps is pressing the restart button on my pc. How could i fix this?

 

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!
