These issues are wildly different from each other, so Microsoft put up an updated list of them, and suggested fixes.

Below you'll find solutions to the most common ones, with the rest available through the link.

Solution: Allow up to 15 minutes on the green Xbox One boot-up animation before you begin troubleshooting. If the screen doesn’t change after that amount of time has passed, hold the power button on the front of the console for 10 seconds until the console powers down. Wait 15 seconds, then power the console back on
