Your new console is stuck during setup
Hold the power button for 10 seconds until the console shuts down completely. Wait 30 seconds, then power it back on. This fixes most setup freezes.
Console setup hangs when the internet connection drops, the update server is slow, or something gets stuck in the background. A forced shutdown and restart fixes it.
Risk: Medium
