Unfortunately, this is a Samsung firmware update. We are not able to stop this process. You must wait until the tablet finishes its update before you can use the tablet again. It is Perfectly normal for these updates to take a few minutes up to several hours. Please do not remove the tablet from the docking station or turn it off during these updates. The tablet must stay on and have power to complete the firmware updates. If your tablet stays on this screen for more than a day please see Andrew the Technology Specialist to exchange the tablet.
