You should change render engine in Rhino settings, and restart (Rhino).
Normally a restart should not be needed, if Vray is enabled and loaded.
Are you saying from the menu, Render > Current Renderer > clicking V-Ray for Rhino does not work?
If so, pls run _SystemInfo and post back the results
this is what I did, and it’s go back to rhino render every time

Hi
Mind that V-Ray 6.10.03 is compatible with Rhino 8 BETA, not with the official release. Rhino might check that and revert your change.
Just guessing, though

Hello
Nikolay Bakalov already mentioned, V-Ray 6.10.03 only supports the beta version of Rhino 8. I understand our download platform’s premature adjustment to the Rhino version numbering caused confusion. Apologies!
Minutes ago we released V-Ray 6.20.00 - it comes with Rhino 8 support and is available for download here:
https://download.chaos.com/?platform=51&product=47
Kind regards,
Peter Chaushev
I have installed Rhino 8 (final version) and Vray 6.10.03 and everything works normally, plug-in recognized and installed correctly (maybe because I also have version 7 of Rhino installed? I don’t know…).
This is logged here: RH-78745 Selected render engine in document properties > Render does not stick
I just Install it. it does not work yet

The bug is logged, but not yet fixed…
I was able to fix this issue by changing the current renderer through the toolbar on the top of the screen. Render>Current Renderer>Vray for Rhino
Hope this helps!

by the way in the initial post, the ID of V-Ray is wrong:
_SetCurrentRenderPlugIn e8cfe179-b60c-411a-8416-62a893334519
Still having the original issue of the current renderer not updating when done through the options menu - but this works!
