Is the window fully maximized?  It looks like it's expanded below the toolbar.

possible display resolution mismatch also.

What resolution are you using?
Is this a desktop with dedicated monitors, or laptop, or laptop with external monitors?
Are you using mixed resolution monitors e.g. one large HD, one smaller UHD; or a laptop with UHD display and HD external monitor?

Thanks Hammer.
Adding -Xmx2048m -Dsun.java2d.d3d=false to Megamek.l4j.ini and Mekhq.l4j.iniegamek fixed it.

I had a similar issue when I upgraded to Windows 11 with some of my older software. What worked for me was tweaking the compatibility settings for the program. Have you tried right-clicking the application icon, going to Properties, and then to the Compatibility tab? From there, you can try running it in compatibility mode for Windows 8 or even Windows 10 if needed. Sometimes that can smooth out those GUI glitches.
I've heard good things about this Windows 11 Pro key, so finding a reliable source for your OS is crucial. A friend once recommended a similar site when I was updating my system, and it made the process a lot smoother.
