Windows is being prepared - depends on Windows 10 / 11 reboot?


Your computer, laptop, or laptop hangs on shutdown when you see the message "Windows is getting ready, don't turn off the computer."



If you've been waiting longer than 15 minutes or even hours, and it does nothing, it is a problem that occurs when the Window computer must prepare some updates, it may be both a software and also a hardware acting driver update!


Method 1. Wait until driver and installation is complete!

If some tasks are still not done in the background, wait 15 minutes after that and watch if the HD light flickers. If so, it may take some time for your system to complete these tasks. However, it should not take more than 1-2 hours.

So if you want your computer to boot up normally, you can continue to patience and keep waiting!

Method 2. Turn off your PC and restart the Windows computer!




Hold down the power button for 3-8 seconds, then shut down the PC and work on notebooks and laptops.

Thereafter, the device restarts, usually start the self-diagnosis program of Windows 10 and fixes the problem with the Windows troubleshooting and you can continue to work normally.
