Solution
Long press the power button until the system shuts down.
Proceed to reboot. Note the start-up time. If Windows logo takes a long time or the boot sequence gets stuck at the Windows logo then your HDD is fried. Same is the case if you don't see the Windows logo.
If the boot sequence passes the Windows logo and turns black for a couple of minutes you are ok. There was a data corruption and it was fixed by the OS.
Best of luck.
