After our Apple TV was updated the “Edit Home Screen” option appears every time we select something.
This answer is not helpful, I don’t want to change or edit my screen, I just want to watch my apps!! Why won’t they just play? Why does it keep going to edit screen

What? When you are on the home screen a short press selects the app you are on and a slightly longer press brings up the edit home screen options. Same as it's always been albeit seems more sensitive now to the duration of the press. We only noticed the edit home screen issue on our systems with universal remote controls, which were fixable with an update to the programming to accommodate the new Select button behavior.
We have many AppleTV's deployed and received a lot of phone calls recently with this issue. All AppleTV's working fine but after tvOS 17 this exact issue started occurring. I am assuming the control protocol for the OK button was changed with the tvOS 17 update. Hopefully they will fix with next update, soon!
Hello Trumark,
Thank you for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Is this happening when you select the clicked center as outlined here:
"Rearrange Apps
Additional details can be found here: Customize the Apple TV Home Screen
Can you provide a few more details? Which tvOS version do you urgently have? Also, which Apple TV do you currently using?
Cheers!
It may be that you are pressing down too long (according to the system software). Clicking as press-down-and-immediately-release should not invoke the Edit option. It may be that the time to register as click-and-hold is a bit shorter now (tvOS 17.0). If you think that time is too short now, then you may give feedback to Apple about that. That is the best way to reach the developers. Feedback - Apple TV - Apple.
