This is how the Discover panel looks on my computer. I resized it as short and and narrow as I possibly could.
- What size is your monitor?
- What have you set the resolution to in Windows OS?
- What do you have in Preferences > Interface?
I have two button at the top on my Discover panel. One is the Close button and the other makes it full size, which might be what you have. If you can either pull the panel down or change the monitor resolution, then maybe, just maybe, taking it off full size will solve your issue.
If not, this needs to go to the Bugs or Ideas section with a request to resize the panel more than you can now. There are already scroll bars, but it doesn't resize enough for your purposes.
I am on macOS, but it should be the same.

I confess that I don't use the Discover panel as much as Trevor does, but I just clicked the Gear icon at the bottom and learned that "Escape" will close the panel. You might need to press it twice as explained below. Will that work for you?
The panel can be resized, and I think a feature request asking to make it even smalled for the reasons you give would be worthwhile. Start a new thread since this one is cluttered, and tag it as "Ideas" instead of "Discussions".

"A HUGE bug that has been missed because Adobe probalbly now has 12 year olds in charge of software design".
This dialog hasn't been around for 12 years for one.
Here is the screen shot but there is no way to fix this. It's the software that is not coded properly.
The evidence would suggest otherwise:
Further, the position of this dialog is sticky. Meaning if it is positioned just under or way under the menu above it, it will always come back to that position. You've got an issue with your display resolution changing or something similar whereby the sticky behavior is hiding the top so fix that, move the dialog lower, and all will be fine for you.
As to your initial question, maybe Photoshop Elements is better for you.
This isn't a Photoshop issue per se, and telling us you have a 14 inch display doesn't help.

There might actually be a problem here. You have somehow managed to drag the upper most part of the Discover window off screen. Mine does not allow me to do that. If I drag beyond the top of the sceen it bounces right back into frame again.
Are you sure your monitor is adjusted correctly? What happens when you hit the Photoshop Maximise icon?
Your screen shot is 1920 x 1080 pixels which is minimum spec, so that might be significant.
The Discover window is 370 X 680 pixels and it looks like yours might be a touch bigger than that. Restarting Photoshop will cause Discover to go back to its Default size next time it is opened, and I 'think' it goes back to a default location.
If you restart Photoshop and open Discover, I suspect it will open in a position where you can hit the X in the top right corner to close it and all will be fine after that. There is one other test you can do, and that is to Open Discover with no document windows open, as it defaults to full screen in that situation. That is to say not larger than full screen, so you should definitely be able to click on the X icon.
If you still have a problem, then we need someone else who has a 1920 X 1080 screen to test it on. If no one volunteers than my wife still uses a screen that size, but I'd have to install Photoshop.
