Use the Report a Problem feature, Long press Xbox button on controller, and choose > Report a problem >Console experience > New Home experience.

Report to the Xbox team your negative experience with their new dashboard full of ADS and clutter nobody has wanted since this was released to Insiders in September 2022.

If they get enough reports it may finally sway "the powers above" to revert back to a more useful and useable dashboard. Don't hold your breath tho, Insiders have been providing negative feedback for 11 months and nobody listened.

See Reddit Xbox Insiders site for more information.

Hi Fellow Gamers!

Thanks for giving us the feedback regarding the Xbox App (beta) experience so far. If you're experiencing some issues in your usage and aren't able to locate the feedback area itself, you may also report any issues via the Insider's Hub app(either on a console
or your PC) or on the Insider's Subreddit. You don't necessarily need to be an Insider to use this tool, but the data you provide goes directly to the engineers/devs for convenience.

You can find information on how to make a report using the following support article:

Thanks in advance for all the feedback!

I hope that this helps you out!

In July we introduced Xbox Insiders to an evolving Home experience. Xbox engineers have taken
user research and feedback to create a faster Xbox One Home dashboard! We know you’re curious what these experiments have all been about, and we have info on new updates happening now!

Why We Are Experimenting

Xbox engineers are seeking feedback and support from Xbox Insiders to ensure each iteration of Home is fast, responsive, and easy to use.

The removal of tabs (or as we call them, “twists”) in August allowed Xbox engineers to focus on improving memory and performance with an easier to navigate Xbox One Home dashboard. In September we introduced more tiles that linked users to features across
the console such as Game Pass, the Store, and Mixer. Users were also given the functionality to change and move around visible tiles to customize the dashboard for their needs!

These previous releases were in smaller waves unlike other features released to Xbox Insiders. Xbox engineers had the chance to understand how the Xbox community used the Xbox One Home dashboard and how it can be improved. These changes opened many doors
for us, and it’s gotten our creative juices flowing! Our goal is to give you the optimum experience on Xbox One—from startup to shut down.

What’s Next for the Xbox One Home Dashboard

Xbox engineers were performing “AB” experiments in previous releases. This means that a random selection of our Xbox Insider audience received the new changes, while others were the control group with the standard Home experience.

We are doing things a little differently with this next phase, starting with what we call “ABC” experiments. Three groups are randomly selected for two versions of Home experiments, while a third group is our control group.

This new phase starts today, Thursday, October 17th! Xbox Insiders from
Alpha and Alpha Skip-Ahead are eligible for these Home experiments and may see the changes with the latest preview update.

• Alpha Skip-Ahead users should update to their latest preview OS build, which will be made available at 2 p.m. PT today, before determining if you have the new Home experience. (Release notes found
  
  here.)

• Alpha’s preview update from
  yesterday has prepared Alpha devices for this new phase. Try
  power cycling the Xbox One console before determining if you have the new Home experience.

“ABC” Experiments for Home

Group A will see four new content blocks for what the twists were previously. This dashboard will look similar to previous Home experiments.

Group B will have a single button under their main dashboard tile for My Games & Apps, rather than the four content blocks Group A will experience.

Note: Changes to tiles during previous Home experiments do not carry over with new iterations.

Those in Group C (our control group) are just as important in this process! You’re providing us data on the current performance of the Xbox One Home dashboard we all see today. Your data shows how successful our work is for you.

Each step we take with the Xbox One Home dashboard allows us to adjust the placement and user-friendliness of buttons and tiles, increase visibility of console features, optimize dashboard and menu commands, and transform Home into the hub for all things
Xbox! Groups A and B are chosen at random from select Xbox One Update Preview rings. The Xbox Insider Team cannot influence who is chosen for these feature releases.

What preview ring am I in?

Follow these steps to find out which preview ring your console is enrolled into:

• Launch the Xbox Insider Hub on your Xbox One console
• Select Insider content
• Choose System, then select Xbox One Update Preview
• Select Manage
• Your current preview ring will be displayed there

Saw this shared on Twitter, and figured it'd be a good idea to pass it along here too because I know some are Insiders and they are looking forward to the new UI.

Thank you very much for posting this, as an Xbox Insider I love testing these new features
