Xbox One S softlock due to update

This did not help. This download bug extends to downloading not only free and paid worlds, but also existing worlds and exiting settings under “updating 1 of 1 packs” softlock screen.

SONIC this update had nothing to do with making xbox's not read certain disc's and does not make people eligible for free 360's. Microsoft stated that was a earlier update not this one. More in likely people's dvd drives are failing due to faulty drives
or they are using un official 360's.

If those steps did not work then it's most likely time to purchase a new Xbox due to the original Xbox 360's not having updated hardware.

Have not set up the Xbox One S yet, due to this question

Hi,

Yes the Xbox One X works the same as the Xbox One and Xbox One S, update wise for games and console updates.

While it is advised to connect the console to the internet, you should be able to go offline as mentioned on the support page that Smwutches posted :

This is the same for any Xbox One console, so regular, S and X

Thank you for the info. I was let to believe that the X model handles games differently from the older models due to its ability to use the 4k updates of games.
