Xbox needs to delete the entire Ad row. It will instantly create a vastly more enjoyable Home screen and starup experience with literally no other changes needed.

Wish you could hide that entire bottom row, but otherwise it looks pretty good.

Well it can’t get any worse
- Truth, I haven't turned on my x since the first month and I don't know why we have it
  
  You just need to find your game!

I play my Series X all of the time and I think I'm very much in the minority when I say this couldn't matter less to me.
- Until you have to navigate it. I’m dreading it RN. Hopefully it’s better than it currently looks.

How many dashboard updates does this make in the last ten years?

Another swing and a miss. When was the last time Microsoft changed something for the better? Windows 7, maybe? Its been a while.

Finally. I'm glad. I'm tired of having my background be completely covered up. It needed a refresh, I can't wait to get it!

I hate the fact that we lost the ability to customize and have a variety of groups in different orders now.
- This is the most unforgivable change for me. I basically don't even use the dashboard any more because I never know where the things I care about will be. I've switched almost entirely to the "X jewel" menu instead.

Terrible. We use ours firstly for entertainment apps, so having a row for 'most popular games' before the group with the apps is rubbish. I honestly don't care what others play. Wish we could customise it. I can see us shelving the whole console and using a Roku for watching instead, because it's that bad. I'm dreading having to explain to the fam how to use it, again.
As for the games we do play, it's now so much harder to get to them. Fail on that front too. It's literally a giant ad now, getting rapidly worse as we scroll down.

Just booted up my Xbox and saw the update was already installed. I had to go back into the Games/Apps menu to add my groups back to the home screen.
- Here I am waiting for the update. Womp
  
  It was in an update from few days ago. They are just turning the switch now.

I like the update

I hate how much ads are there, more so for the stupid game pass. I'm already a subscriber too, I don't need the constant spam damn!

Looks like they ripped off the ps5 menu quite a bit.
