OBS Stats Dock - Windows OBS Studio Bug

I'm completely unable to access OBS Studio UI or menus after adding the Stats dock. See screenshot below.

The dock has taken over the whole of OBS including the menus. I cannot click into the menus at all, or see any other docks, panels or normal OBS UI.

So I've tried doing the normal things you'd try here like:

- Ending task (which closed OBS, but it still appeared on restart)
- Restarting PC (didn't work)
- Using Windows+ Left or Right to try and move the window (it's locked, it won't move the window)
- Using Windows+ Down to minimise the window (doesn't move the window)
- Ending specific tasks separately under the OBS tree of tasks in Task Manager
- Even Alt+Tabbing doesn't work to reset the UI in OBS.

I can't even install the newest version of OBS Studio to try and remove this as I cannot access any menus etc.

See screenshot below. That's the full and complete content of OBS Studio that I have right now... It's rendered the program useless. Last resort will be to perform a clean installation but that would be a major bummer!

Is there a fix for this? Is this a known issue? I've seen a few similar threads but they are dead threads with little to no help on them.

I'm on Windows 10, and the second most recent version of OBS Studio (I can't check exact version number as I can't access it!)

Just to add, I can see the normal OBS Studio layout when I Alt+Tab, as the preview on the Alt Tab, but when I release the keys, it does not revert the UI, instead it just shows the screenshot above (full screen stats dock). But from this, I was able to see on the previewer that it's version 27.0.1, if that helps?!

OK, I was able to fix this - for some reason it's defaulted to FULL SCREEN mode even though I didn't full screen it (F11...), and that it shouldn't default to full screen when I reload the program / restart PC.

So I pressed F11 again and although it still was full screen, the normal OBS Studio popped out onto one of my other monitors so I was able to uncheck the Stats Dock to remove it.

This is a definitely a bug that should be looked at, so if a dev has any more questions just ask :)
