My Shadow PC is stuck with a blue screen (Cortana) on the launcher

Updated 

When you start your Shadow PC on the launcher, you might get stuck for a long time with a blue screen from the Microsoft Assistant Cortana.

If that's the case, use the ALT + TAB shortcut.

If this solution does not work, you can try a factory reset of your Shadow PC by selecting a Ready-to-Play installation.

Please note that will erase all your data on the primary disk of your Shadow PC (disk C:)

Finally, if none of the solutions above work, you can contact Support.

Note: The installation process continues in a hidden window in the background. This is a Windows issue.
