Hello @nour1

 

Welcome to the HP Support forum. Thank you for posting !

 

This is Windows and it happens from time to time to hung, especially during such operations. It might have hung due to

-- software related problem (faulty update or 3rd party driver/app hung)

or

-- hardware issue (less likely)

 

If the problem persists, you have no other choice other than performing hard reset (hard restart) to power off the device. Press and hold the power-on button for 5-10 seconds and it should power off.   Wait 10-15 seconds. Remove the battery and reinsert it back in.

Eventually, attempt to start Windows again. Hopefully, Windows will start again.
