Windows 10: Update stuck on verify identity session expired

I left my computer to update overnight and I woke up to “verify your identity.” Tried filling the info out but “your session has timed out. Please restart the process.” There is no option to restart and I’m afraid to hold down the power button since this was an update on an older computer and I have no backup. Edit: this is a Windows 10 update. My laptop is too old for windows 11

Verify your identity

i bought a new lenovo ideapad laptop today and went to sign in to microsoft. I couldnt remember my password so it is asking to verify my identity. So i gave entered in my email and sent code about 10 times. I am not recieving an email. So then i decided
to do it on my phone to see if it would work and it did. So password is reset. But i am still stuck on the verify my identity of my laptop.

Now it is saying that the session has expired and to restart the process.

It wont let me go back to try the process again or reenter my password! Help because my partner had bought exactly the same laptop and he is sotting beside me happily using his and im super frustrated.

 

New computer is stuck at verify your identity page

I’ve purchased a new computer but received a loop. My machine got stuck at the page "verify your identity". The issue occurred when I tried to set up the computer. It sent me to
"verify your identity" page and when I was going to input the security code, it got stuck saying
the session has timed out and to restart the process.

I can’t do anything, neither change the
screen or log in to Windows. I also can't leave verify page at all. Please help me to setup my machine.
