I have just downloaded 26.2 update into both of my iPads. One is Ipad M2 air and the other is iPad Air 3, both have frozen on the update screen with just a tiny bit of update line incomplete. I cannot restart either iPads and finder will not recognise my Ipad M2. Everything is stuck .HELP!
iPad Air, iPadOS 26
Put each iPad into Recovery Mode, connect to Finder, and choose Update (not Restore). If Finder doesn’t detect the device, use DFU mode. Do not erase unless absolutely necessary.

Recovery-Mode and Update method just fixed my iPad Air (M3) - also stuck after updating to 26.2 - never happened to me before.
Ipads frozen before completion of 26.2 update. Models are IpadM2 Air and Ipad 3
