Console system update is stuck and won't complete
Hold the power button for 10 seconds to force shutdown, wait 30 seconds, then turn it back on. If that doesn't work, try a wired ethernet connection for the update.
Stuck system updates are caused by network interruptions or slow download speeds. A forced restart fixes it. Make sure your internet is stable before trying again.
