Windows 10: Windows 10 Display Scale

Hi Folks,


To set the scene, I have 2 x Dell 4K monitors, these are great. I used the Nvidia driver to merge them together making a single screen at 7680 x 2160

To make it easier to use word/email and other applications, I go to display settings and set the scaling to 150% (reccomended). Everything works great.


Until I restart.


When it boots up, I get the desktop, but the start button, tool bar, system tray are all gone!

So I right click on the desktop -> Display Settings and change the scaling back to 100%, then back to 150% and it all comes back.


I have to do this every time the computer boots up. Surely there is a bug with scaling where it is not been set at start up. Can anyone help ?
