iPad iPad stuck on iPadOS public beta 4

[pit29]

Hi all,

Fully knowing what I was doing (I hope), I installed the iPad OS public beta 4 on my iPad Pro - this was after running public beta 3 for a few weeks without any issue. Beta 4 started to work fine, but yesterday it got stucked with 2 apps open, but no way to invoke the dock, close (or resize) any of the 2 open apps, and also no way of shutting the iPad down by pressing volume and power buttons.

I can access the control center, Today, Siri etc but can also not launch other apps. So like the iPad, I'm now stuck as well. Is there any other way to switch it off / restart, e.g. via USB? Anything I shoudl try via iCloud?

Thanks for any suggestions - and again, yes, I knew what I could be getting into

Peter

Just found a solution on the ifixit.com site (press and release volume up, then down, then hold power).

I searched earlier on the internet and did not find this, only after posting... sorry.

Same exact thing happened to me shortly after installing beta four. I loaded two instances of Safari and the dock disappeared. After searching the web, I came across a similar article on force resetting the iPad.
