KB5000736: Featured update to Windows 10, version 21H1 by using an enablement package
From the Blog:
In the current environment, we know that you continue to rely on your PCs more than ever. As a result, we are initially taking a measured seeker-based approach to the rollout of the May 2021 Update. We are throttling availability up over the coming weeks to ensure a reliable download experience for all, so the update may not be offered to you right away. Additionally, some devices might have a compatibility issue for which a safeguard hold is in place. In these cases, we will not offer the update until we are confident that you will have a good update experience.

2021-05-31T22:25:45+00:00 After my update and not turning my computer on for 48 hours, I'm locked out because of repeated incorrect logins and shutdowns. I repeat; my computer's been unplugged for two days! I'm offered wait for two hours, turned on and try again, or log on THROUGH OTHER MEANS!!
It sounds like a bad update. If you get to the sign-in screen, click the Power icon at bottom right. Then hold Shift as you click Restart. This will reboot to the onboard recovery environment (a separate partition) at the "Choose an Option" screen. Choose "Troubleshoot > Advanced Options > Uninstall Updates". Uninstall the last Quality update (if there was one) or uninstall the Feature update (21H1 itself).
If you are also locked out or asked for a password there, try it with a Win 10 Installation USB drive (as I posted to Richard (just above). That is an external recovery environment that may not ask for a password.
