Have you done a Sync reboot?

The fact that it's working now could just point to gremlins that may have come up with updates.

BTW, you might want to tell us which of your two screens is freezing.

It's the main screen in the middle. Haven't done anything too worried it might not work again. Had 3 days with heated seat in full and no way to demist the windscreen

I had something similar happen this weekend.

I turned on the car and the APIM screen was off. I tried turning the car off and back on. The screen was still off.

So I tried to reboot Sync. No matter how long I held the reboot buttons the screen did not turn on.

So I walked away and came back a few minutes later.

The screen still did not turn on when the car was started.

The radio was playing the HVAC was working, just no way to control it.

Finally I walked away again and when I returned I tried starting the car from FordPass. It started right up. This time when I got in the car the APIM screen came on and has every time since.

I checked with CarScanner and I don't have any DTC.

Carscanner is an app that when paired with an OBD II dongle allows you to get information from your car including diagnostic trouble codes (DTC). I had thought that in my case there might have been a DTC thrown but there was nothing.
