macOS Big Sur 11.6 Upgrade Issue

I recently upgraded to MacOS 11.6 and am no longer able to view the left-most portion of any screen. More than aesthetics, I can no longer use anything that initiates from the left side of any app or screen.


I can resize a screen, for example, but all header and footer locked icons and menu items are not resizable, and thus no longer available.


Is anyone else experiencing this, and if so, any suggestions?


I'm not new to Mac, but am new to this community.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.15

Hmmm... A screenshot would be appropriate to help understanding the issue...


—Have you rebooted more than once since you upgraded..


—You can try a safeboot to clear caches  https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201262


—To sort upgrade anomalies you can reinstall the macOS on top of your existing macOS
