"Fixes" how? My xbox has been like this for over a year & the story says Microsoft fixed the issue but has no other details!

The problem being referred to here was a backend problem on Microsoft's side which has been resolved so affected consoles can update normally again.

It isnt just Xbox Ones. I bought a brand new Series X last week, it didn't last 24hours. Completed a system update hen it randomly shut off completely and now turns then back off with display. No troubleshoot menu, usb recovery offline update doesn't work... what a joke... my Lainch PS5 is still going strong.

And? It's still under warranty. Those with older Xbox's aren't under warranty, so that's where the real frustration and complaint base comes in.

Yeah, it's an inconvenience, but MS will probably have the issue figured out by the time your new one comes in. Or refund before your 30 days is up?
