Roku ultra keeps reloading the ROKU start up screen

I’ve unplugged and replugged and tried a different outlet. I have also tried a different outlet. I cannot get my roku ultra to stop reloading the purple roku screen and it’s continuous. I’ve also restarted my internet.

Re: Roku ultra keeps reloading the ROKU start up screen

First introduced in 2016, to date there have been a total of 8 Rokus released under the Ultra product name, with increasingly enhanced features and capabilities.  Which model do you have?  The model numbers for each can be found via Settings/System/About or by checking your linked devices via https://my.roku.com.  ["My bad".  This iteration of the Roku account pages just shows you Model names but not numbers.]

There have been a number of user-reported problems with the latest release, model 4850.

I cannot get that far on my roku to look at settings. I looked back and I bought it in 2020. Not sure that helps.
