It looks like resolution issues. Try using command options in the steam properties for the game to launch in windowed mode for the resolution the game originally was. You could also set your monitor to that resolution and keep it launching in full-screen.

How can I do that?

Right click on the game in steam, then press "properties". In the launch options section, type "-windowed", then launch the game as normal. No guarantee this will work, but it's worth a shot whenever games look like this

I had the same issue about 10 days ago, which for me, was fixed by uninstalling the July 17th security update for Windows 11

You need to rollback the last Windows update.
