As shown below, I had an issue where certain VST windows (in my case, GOYO) would crop out the bottom and right portions of the plugin. I was unable to scroll, resize the window or click anywhere within the empty region.

I found that the problem was caused by me not having my app scale set to 100% within Windows Display Settings. If you're having the same problem, you can try changing yours to 100% if you prefer EVERYTHING being smaller. If you're like me, though, you'll want to leave this setting alone (I had mine at 150% and wanted to keep it that way).

My solution is to slightly change the DPI settings within the Light Host executable properties:

Locate Light Host.exe, right click and select "Properties".
Navigate to Compatibility > Change high DPI settings > High DPI scaling override.
Check the box and select "System (Enhanced)" from the dropdown (I tried using normal "System" but thought it looked slightly blurrier).
Select OK from both property windows.
Quit Light host from the system tray if it's open (Right click > Quit).
Open Light Host. Now all windows should open without cropping.
