We had this problem after power surge. Tried unplugging that didn’t work. Did a factory reset which included a software update and it worked fine. 
Step one: Plug back in and power on

Step Two: enter email but DO NOT activate yet.

Step Three: (While it sends activation to your email) Click asterisks (*) on your remote and select Factory reset.

Step Four: follow the prompts and you should be good 👍

@einar2, if you have a Roku TV, make sure you're using the TV's remote.  You can also try using the mobile app on your phone or tablet as a remote.

Try unplugging the power for a few seconds and plugging it back in.  Worst case you'll have to factory reset it again and start over.
