It's just a minor "update" in the software. My 2017 Q7 & 2018 Q5 have exactly the same technology & options but obviously they have different software versions & I've noticed several minor differences in the way things behave.
Now if Audi would just allow software version updates without having to prove that it's the only way to fix a problem
. Maybe one of our OBDEleven Gurus can do a deep dive into the app & see if they can find a "switch". I can use the thing, but I'm not a programmer & I'm kind of paranoid - I like to let someone else be the guinea pig 
.

I can confirm that mine (MY2018) VC and center screen stay on the screens that were active at the time of shutdown. What that means is that if I keep music listing on VC and GPS on center when I turn off the vehicle (for the night), it comes back like that when I go to turn it on in the morning. However, not sure if VC maintains small gauges view (will check that), and not sure if center remembers the exact screen it was shutdown on (i.e. settings, destination input, etc.) will verify later.

Funny, I just checked it and when you have small gauges active, it doesn't matter which other view you have (music, phone, etc.) on shutdown, it will always come up with the map view on startup (and small gauges, so there's that).

On my MY17, the small gauges in the main screen stay small but it always resets to the vehicle info screen (the one where the tab is all to the left). However, the center screen remembers its latest setting and stays there (i.e. music).
