This began with my latest update to Windows 11 beta. The action center comes up and ends toward the lower right of the desktop but is cut around 1/3 toward the top. As a result, the slide bars for sound and brightness shows but above that the first layer of actionable icons is interrupted. I have attached a screen shot of the left half of the screen. I have done a dskscan, sfc, and good reboot. Using the speaker icon above or the win + a both bring up the action center, as shown that is cut halfway. My latest upgrade shows I am at Windows Home 10.2.22000 Build 22000..

@NicoMan77 Wow, that's it.
It really makes you wonder why change something that's not for the better.
When Microsoft broke a bunch of stuff with Windows Vista, I understood. That was bringing the OS to a new level of appearance. Using GPU composition made it possible to create much more compelling aesthetics.
But we've reached a level where changes in appearance now are like clothing fashion. We got from solid to transparent and then back to solid. To flat to shadow and then back. From color to grayscale and back.
At this point we just gotta have options. Companies should not be locking people up in whatever they think is best. And they certainly should not be removing a perfectly working way to let people have a side taskbar (maybe they really want us to have the 60% whitespace we do in this very website) and when you think you can at least have it on the top of the screen: no, you don't.

@NicoMan77 yep that was it. I'm a top of window Taskbar guy. So yeah, this sucks.
