Hey there! @Keraw2003, Thanks for stopping by the HP Support Forums!

 

I understand you have issues booting into your PC.

 

Don't worry I'll try to help you out.

 

Did you make any hardware or software changes on your PC?

 

Please provide the product number of your PC to assist you better.

 

As you mentioned the laptop is stuck on the update.
 

Try the steps recommended below.

 

Press CTRL + Alt + Del on the blank screen.
Click on Task Manager
Click "File" - "Run a new task" If there is no "file" option, please click on the task manager under the "details"
In the pop-up window, enter "msconfig" click "OK"
In the system configuration window that appears, click "Service" and uncheck "App Readiness".
Click "Apply" --- "OK"
In the following window appears to click on the "restart"

 

 

If the issue still persists after trying out the steps try the steps recommended below.

 

In Windows, search for Command Prompt. In the search results, right-click Command Prompt and select Run as administrator. Then click Yes.
In Command Prompt, type sfc /scannow. Make sure to include the space between sfc and the /.
Press Enter and wait while System File Checker scans for corrupted files.
When scanning is complete, the results are displayed on the screen.
If the file checker found and replaced any corrupted files, restart the computer and check the performance.
If the file checker did not find any corrupted files or found corrupted files but could not replace them, go to the next step.
If System File Checker finds corrupted files but cannot replace them, use the Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) tool. DISM checks the corrupted files; then downloads and replaces the files using Windows Update.
In Windows, open a web browser.
   NOTE:
You need to be connected to the Internet to use DISM.
In Windows, search for Command Prompt. In the search results, right-click Command Prompt and select Run as administrator. Then click Yes.
In Command Prompt, type dism.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth. Make sure to include the space before each / in the command line.
Press Enter and wait while DISM works. This might take several minutes.
If DISM finds corrupted files, it replaces them using Windows Update. If this occurs, after DISM is finished, restart your computer and see if the performance has improved.

 

Refer this article to further troubleshoot lock up or freezing issues with PC.

 

If the issue still persists after trying out the steps try performing a complete system recovery on your PC and check if it helps.

 

Refer this article to know how to perform a system recovery on your PC.

 

 

If the solution provided worked for you, please mark accepted solution for this post.

 

Let me know if this helps!

Have a great day! 🙂
