Fixing a Frozen Screen on iPad Pro After an Update
## Direct Answer
To fix a screen frozen on iPad Pro after an update, try forcibly restarting your device by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button and the Volume Down button simultaneously for at least 10 seconds.

## Step-by-Step Guide
1. **Force Restart**: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Volume Down button at the same time for at least 10 seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
