Hello!
We're grateful for your participation in the Apple Support Community. It sounds frustrating to deal with your iPad freezing up after the 17.4 update. To address this, you might start by performing a forced restart. If that doesn't solve the issue, consider updating the device again or restoring it via iTunes or Finder on a computer. If these steps don't resolve the issue, reaching out to Apple Support or visiting an Apple Store could be your next best step. This way, you can get more specific help and hopefully resolve the problem quickly.
