Getting Windows ready. Don’t turn off your computer – Windows 10

When I shut down my laptop with Windows 10 upgraded from Windows 7, on the Windows shutting down screen, it shows “Getting Windows ready. Don’t turn off your computer”, but I was waiting for several hours, my laptop still stuck on this blue screen and didn’t turn off. Have you got with this same issue? How do you deal with it?

I turned off the power button, the screen got black, but when I turned on the power button, it got to that blue screen again. I think I would need to reset my laptop again.

But fortunately, it didn’t need to reset my laptop. At last, I tried to press and hold on the Power button for several seconds to completely power off my laptop.

After a while, I turned on my laptop again.  To my excitement, this time it booted to the logon screen normally, not at that blue screen!

But, unfortunately, I only created one local account on my Dell laptop, so there is no other account or sign-in options to get into my computer.
