DM does not keep surround activated when using a DM game shortcut #263

Hi Terry,

Describe the bug When I'm launching American truck simulator from a desktop shortcut who activate surround and others settings, Dm switch to surround and he revert back to the default display profile before the game could be launched.

To Reproduce Create a default profile (3 display) and then create a surround profile. Create a shortcut with a stem game with the surround profile and launch it from the task bar or the desktop (happens in both ways).

Expected behaviour Shortcut is supposed to keep the surround profile while lauching the game and revert back to the default display profile when I close the game, not before it starts.

Enviroment (please complete the following information):

Additional context Had this problem since a couple of week, I hoped that a fresh windows install fix this problem but it won't. Before I resinstalled my windows, I saw that this bug happened after each update of nvidia drivers. i saw the other bug report on that and I did not use DDU, I updated it with Nvidia Geforce experience. Also, I freshly created new display profiles in DM today but the bug appear again. important note: When I activate surround manually by the Nvidia control pannel, Surround seems to working fine, I am able to keep it that way so I believe it's a problem with DM itself, see support log attached to this post.

Sorry for my bad english. Let me know if you need something else to troubleshoot this problem. Thank you very much Terry.
