HP laptop stuck on undoing changes made to your computer

After an update it reboots and sits on "undoing changes made to your computer" for ages, then does it again on the next restart. Been looping since yesterday. How do I break out of this?

How long has it been? On an older HP with a spinning hard drive that screen can genuinely sit there for an hour or more, so leave it if you can. If it's been hours with no change, hold power to switch it off and start it again. If it loops back to the same screen, interrupt the boot three times in a row (power off as soon as the Windows logo shows) and it drops into the recovery menu. From there Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Uninstall Updates, remove the latest quality update, and restart. Once you're back in, pause updates for a week or so before it tries the same one again.
