My iPad is frozen showing just a black screen with the white Apple logo. When I force a hard shutdown the screen goes totally black and then goes back to this opening black screen with the white apple. It won't advance beyond this locked screen.
iPad Pro, iPadOS 14

Even after trying those options the iPad was still completely frozen. It would go all black & then right back to just the logo. I took it to the Apple Store where they said it was a software problem. They were able to reboot / restart it by connecting it to a Mac and applying some Apple magic.
