Hi,

Yes, this is something that we can improve to the V-ray 3.0 UI. It will be considered with our developers.  
Meanwhile you can create a default 3ds max start up file using the following steps:  
\*) open 3ds max  
\*) open V-ray render settings  
\*) right click on the UI mode (Basic) and choose Switch all to expert  
\*) save this scene as maxstart.max to your default scenes folder  
You can go to Customize\Configure User Paths to figure out where your scenes folder is pointed to.
