I'm almost certain that some of this recent update tomfoolery has completely destroyed my...

I've been in the insider program for years now, never had a single major issue, sure some annoyances but NOTHING like this out-of-the-blue bullshit. While playing Doom around 3 am, which is typically around the time auto-updates kick in, my console shuts off so abruptly it left me dazed and confused, I mean for as long as I've been in the program not ONCE has anything gone sideways.

No matter what I'm doing the 'time for an update' screen has never failed to stop what I was doing so I can then choose whether to stay offline or download right then, there's been no troubles, no warning signs, not a damn thing that would lead to instant complete brick status.

So let's see here, I've attempted most if not all usual troubleshooting actions, removed as much dust as possible during the hours of being unplugged, been on the phone with support for over an hour learning the potential cost for repairs and, more or less, have exhausted any remedying actions that I know of.

All roads seem to lead to just replacing what was a perfectly good XB1x about 28 hours ago and while I definitely welcome any and all ideas that maybe able to help, I'm sure this will just be an attempt at a long-winded heads up seeing as how Microsoft gives zero shits and takes zero responsibility for abruptly rendering a longtime user's console completely fucking useless and if anyone who made it this far could explain to me how none of us have ANY form of restitution or attaining at least some sort of reparations, even in the form of discount repairs as well as any other light that can be shed on this, well...well that'd be just groovy. Get out while you can folks.
