I have a new Macbook Pro and my System Preferences won't complete loading. I've had the computer on and connected to the internet for about 12 hours and I continue seeing the spinning dashed lines under System Preferences.
MacBook Pro 15″, OS X 10.11

Hmmm...
Try a SafeBoot https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201262
Takes noticeable longer to get to the login screen, does a 5 minute disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, including dynamic loader cache, etc.
Login and test. Reboot as normal and test.
No resolve—
Boot into Internet Recovery (Option Command R) and from the dropdown menu: Utilities> Disk Utility> run the First Aid on your Macintosh HD (and the "Macintosh HD-Data" volume as well if Catalina/Big Sur/Monterey) If errors are found and repaired, run again until no errors reported.
Disk Utility>View>Show All Devices The best sequence is —
• Volume level
• Container level
• Parent drive

It's actually a 16-inch 2021 model with OS 12.
