Hi Roberts! I'm Rostom, an Independent Advisor. I will be glad to help you here.

If you’re stuck with the console update, the best option we can do here is to perform an offline system update.

To use the Offline System Update, you'll need:
A Windows-based PC with an Internet connection and a USB port
A USB flash drive with a minimum 6 GB of space formatted as NTFS

Please check the detailed instructions here https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/hardware-ne...

Hi TomBowler1,

Thanks again for your reply. If you've got your USB loaded up and inserted into a USB port, but its still not being recognized & allowing you to proceed with selection of the OSU, then that would surely be frustrating.

Have you attempted to
select a factory reset for the console? It should provide you the option that allows you to
keep your games & apps installed and it will remove any potentially damaging files from the console's OS that may be holding you up in proceeding with the OSU. If you haven't already done so, I'd recommend that as the next step. Lastly, if
it does continue to misbehave, a full factory reset (removing everything) may be worth a try as well. Be sure to remove your USB from the console prior to trying this out, as well as knowing your profile log in credentials (email address & password) as all
profiles are removed during a factory reset.

Should you try absolutely every option presented but the console still will not continue to update, then you may need to replace your Xbox One console as Microsoft no longer services the Original Xbox One.

Give these additional troubleshooting options a try and please let us know the results.

I hope that this helps you a bit more.

Is your shipping still under warranty?
