Is it safe to turn off my laptop? Clean installed win 11 pro and ran windows update, along with dell support assist. Seems stuck - been here for 40 min or so. Tho, I can move mouse cursor.

Usually Dism / Servicing Stack is very robust.
In worst case you need to run
In this order
Microsoft Terminal / PowerShell (Admin)
Winget install crystaldiskinfo
Check drive health
Chkdsk c:
repair-Windowsimage -online -scanhealth
repair-Windowsimage -online -repairhealth if broken.
If it cannot repair install upgrade repair with latest iso (keep settings)

The thing that may have happened is that windows update is still installing/downloading others updates, it usually depends on the pc specs, example: the drive is slow, I wouldn't recommend to power it off, bc it can corrupt the system to the point that you need to do an clean install of windows

Agreed. Waiting till christmas eve before ungraceful shutdown is always the best option. But in fact it does stall sometimes.
Glad it's solved.
