Default Sync 4 Defaulting to Settings on StartUp?

Anyones unit default to their settings page on startup? Kind of annoying it just doesn't default to last. Any way to change that?

This is a bug I noticed as well. MyView will reset and my gauges will turn back to default. I like to show the boost gauge and it just won't stick.

Any updates on this? The "MyView" settings just started defaulting to show only the default "Fuel" and "Trip 1" and removed the other views that I added. This happens every time I turn the truck off and start back up. I've had the truck for a 3 plus weeks and it worked fine until today.

Could this have been caused by an OTA update? How do you know when an OTA update happens?

I just had field service action number 21B08 completed by my dealer and it blew up my start up and shut down screens as well. I’ve managed to get the alarm motion sensor yes/no screen reactivated but am still working on finding my old start up screen. Right now every time I start my truck I get the complete main menu to choose from instead of the only the one I want. I’ll figure it out eventually.🤞

Same exact thing here. Week 2 and just started happening.

6 weeks in, I got notice that a "new Device, SYNCH4" had connected to my wifi yesterday morning while parked in my driveway. MYVIEW screwy since that.

Default Solution to SYNC Defaulting to "SETTINGS"

Just finished chatting with Ford Service. Fixed the problem by rebooting the SYNC system with Module Reset.
1. Start engine
2. Hold the Power button (center of volume ****) and the Seek-right button (station seeking button on radio) down at the same time for up to 10 seconds.
3. Release buttons once the SYNC display indicates it is restarting.
Worked for me.
SUBSEQUENT EDIT:
Worked for the time the engine was running, then it went back to defaulting to SETTINGS.
Checking with the Ford "Over the Air Team."
According to Ford:the default to "SETTINGS" is an intentional part of the most recent update but they are getting a lot of feedback that most people do not want this default. They are planning a subsequent update to remove this feature and there is no fix to work around it until they change it by update.

I was having the same issue but I can report that my truck took another update and the screen has stopped going back to Settings every time I shut down the vehicle. That said I'm really questioning why they would have thought everyone would want it to do that? But at least they responded and put it back.

Mine did that after a recent update. I did a second manual update and it has worked properly since.
