Lightroom Preferences Tab to big to click "OK"

Hi everyone, you can see clearly my issue in my attached picture. My preferences tab is so large that I cannot click "OK" to save my preferences. The window doesn't shrink, and I am unable to move it beyond the top of my screen. This is super frustrating because I can't save a single preference change I need to make, and that means I can't edit photos for the time being. How do I get this window to be smaller? I can't seem to find similar questions anywhere. Thanks for the help!

What is your OS?

 

If Windows, are you selecting monitor resolution via GPU settings, or via Windows OS settings.

If via Windows OS settings, are you also using scaling?

Would be better off not scaling, leaving Windows OS resolution at default, and using GPU settings instead.

The problem is not with display scaling in Windows or LR, but rather a Preferences window that is larger than the minimum display height required by Adobe.  

 

The screenshot shows that Tim's display is 768 pixels high.  On Windows LR, with no display scaling set in Windows and the LR font size set to automatic, the Preferences window is 800 pixels high.   LR's System Requirements specify a minimum height of 768 pixels.

Another workaround: Do the menu command Window > Screen Mode > Full Screen.  Then you'll be able to see the tops of the OK and Cancel buttons and click on them:

Still an issue. Shouldn't the Preferences window be restricted to 768 pixels by now?
