Anyone else have their truck automatically go back to the calm screen on its own? Seems to happen about 80% of the time and it's benign to make me NOT calm. Between that and having to press the OK button to remain in start before it goes away is starting to get a bit annoying.

If it's the calm screen on the ic then just change your myview.

Yes, it bugs me too. I have not identified any type of pattern but think it has been happening less frequently for the last few months however it did happen again this week.

On rare occasion, sometimes tied to a software OTA other times multiple start/stop/start pushes of the Start button, she get's confused what the crazy driver is trying to do.

I keep my truck on the calm screen all the time, but have had it switch rarely to some other screen -- which I attribute to operator error or a minor bug.

I've only had this happen after an update. If I had to guess, maybe twice total? I don't remember. I know it hasn't been every single time. 24 Flash

Happens frequently on my '23. Reverts back to the default selections for MyView and I have to re-select my options. I cannot detect any rhyme or reason, and Brian from Ford has yet to respond when I have posted about this before (Hello Brian?). This has been a bug that had happened since I purchased the truck 3 years ago. Does not affect drivability, but it is an annoyance.

I only experience this after certain OTAs as well in my 2023 Lariat ER - now with 84,711 trouble free miles.

I find that if I double-press the OK button by accident on startup, my menu is set up to take me to the calm screen. If I acknowledge a pop-up, and it takes a second to clear, so I press OK again, I'll end up on the calm screen.

Does anyone ever actually use the calm screen :question:

Do you mean the instrument panel or the Sync screen. If you mean the IP, see Rick's comment:

If it's the calm screen on the ic then just change your myview.
What change in the MyView fixes this? I have the same issue but just switch back to the screen I want.
