Acrobat DC app font is tiny, to the point of being unusable in Windows 10

Installed the app on a brand new Thinkpad, using Windows 10.  The font in the app for menus and commands is so ridiculously tiny, that I cannot read it even with trifocals.

No, it is NOT my system; this is the only app that is behaving this way, and I installed it this morning.

Where or how do I change the Preferences to increase the size of the menu fonts?

The work around by kglad doesn't work for me. I have Acrobat Pro DC 2022 and can't believe this hasn't been fixed in all this time!!! The main menu font -- File, Edit, View, etc. -- is fine, but the sub-menu (when clicking File, etc.) and the tab heading for the open documents are much smaller and barely readable. Please fix!!!

Please show your OS and version and your Acrobat and version. Please show also screenshots of the problem.
