Solved Froze during windows update

Doing windows update. Said it needed to restart to finish the update. It restarted, went to the screen saying
'Updates are underway
Please keep your computer on"

And froze.
Closing lid does nothing,
Power button does nothing.
I'm stuck.

What to do?

    Sometimes, updates can take a long time to complete, especially if they are substantial updates. It's generally recommended to wait at least 30 minutes to an hour before proceeding with any other troubleshooting steps. If it still shows no progress after that time, you can proceed with the steps below.

    If you're patient and willing to wait, you can try leaving your computer on for an extended period. Sometimes, the update process can take longer than expected, and your system might recover on its own.
