My laptop gets stuck on the logo screen after restarting following a Windows 11 installation

After installing Windows 11, the system gets stuck on the brand logo screen during restart and won't boot into the OS. Please help with a solution.

    This usually happens due to a boot issue after Windows 11 installation. Try force restarting your laptop once, and if it still gets stuck, enter recovery mode and run Startup Repair. In most cases, this fixes the problem without much hassle

    Unplug everything except your keyboard, mouse, and monitor. This includes printers, external hard drives, USB hubs, and even your phone charging cable. A faulty or incompatible driver for a connected device can halt the boot process.

    Since you cannot access your desktop, you will need to use the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE). The most reliable way to access WinRE is by performing a Hard Shutdown two to three times in a row.

    Power off your PC during startup (force shutdown) 3 times in a row. This should trigger Windows Recovery Mode.
