Windows 10: PC stuck on "Getting Windows Ready, Don't turn off your computer" w/o circle for about 1...

I updated two computers and after windows update said it was up to date, I ran windows cleanup from the settings. It got stuck on windows update cleanup so I turned off the computer so I could try again after restarting. Both computers have been stuck for the last hour with no end in sight (since there is no moving circle just the text and cursor)

Computer stuck at getting windows ready

Hi,

For us to effectively assist you, may we ask if you made any recent changes on your computer prior to the issue?

Have you tried any possible troubleshooting steps? If yes, what are those steps? This is to avoid repeating of the possible steps done.

If Windows 10 install gets stuck on the message "Getting Windows ready", it is possible that the internet connection might be running slow. Kindly ensure that your internet connection can suffice the download during the update. The other thing would be a conflict
from external devices. We suggest temporarily disconnect all peripherals aside from mouse and keyboard.

If you require any further information, let us know.

Regards.
