    What I did was hit the TAB key a few times then hit ENTER, and by sheer luck, I had moved the highlight to the correct button to advance.

    Alternatively, I had to change the Windows 11 display orientation from Landscape to Portrait. It was rather awkward to navigate with my display and mouse turned sideways, but one of the buttons was now partly visible on the right side of the screen, so I was able to click on it.

    Another possible solution is to change the Windows text size back to 100% if you are using a larger text size.

    None of these are acceptable solutions though. It is EMBARRASING on Meta's part that such problems exist in their software. This problem has still not been fixed since years ago when I owned a Rift S!!!

steve_40ā€‹  try rotating the screen 90 degrees in windows. it will give you more horizontal real estate and access to the buttons.

To rotate the screen on a Windows computer, you can use keyboard shortcuts or the display settings in Windows. For keyboard shortcuts, press Ctrl + Alt + Up Arrow to return to the standard landscape view, or use Ctrl + Alt + Left/Right Arrows to rotate 90 degrees left or right, and Ctrl + Alt + Down Arrow to flip the screen upside down. Alternatively, you can rotate the screen through the display settings by right-clicking on the desktop, selecting "Display settings", and then choosing the desired orientation from the "Display orientation" dropdown.

The CTRL+ALT key combos don't work for me, they are not standard Windows shortcuts, it's a feature of Intel Graphics app.

    steve_40ā€‹ you can also change the 'display orientation' from landscape to portrait mode in the display settings which also rotates the screen 90 degrees giving you more vertical real estate if you're laid on your side.
