Windows 10: When I shut down my laptop it just says "updates are underway. Please keep your computer on"

Hello, my laptop goes into this state whenever I shut it down and it wouldn't turn off for quite a while and the screen just says "Updates are underway. Please keep your computer on" and no I didn't update my laptop but it does eventually turn off although I am kind of worried this started 2 days ago when I did the "SFC /scannow" command and for the past month the circle that usually appear when you shut it down isn't appearing anymore im not really sure if this is ralated though not to mention i have many more promblems in my laptop

:)

 

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!
