GeneralStrange RDP problem Pin

This has been happening for me for quite a while on Windows 10...I never inquired about it, and just now, Google searches returned nothing relevant (or my keywords aren't good enough).

Every once in a while...I'll try to RDP (by launching mstsc.exe) into a system I have on my LAN...I provide the machine name, hit Connect, then the standard (Windows 10) credentials window does NOT come up. But it's there - if I move the mouse over the RDP icon on the taskbar, there's a Remote Desktop Connection entry in its popup menu, and if I just move the mouse over it, the credentials window comes up...only, the layout is completely messed up:

I have a 4K monitor, and the window is resized to such extremely large proportions, I only see the Remember Me checkbox in the top-left corner, then on the bottom of the screen, the OK button has a normal height, but is so wide it occupies half the screen (at 4K!); the Cancel button looks the same; normal height, but the width takes up the other half of the screen. The password textbox is "out of bounds", and I have to have the mouse hover over/leave the icon on the taskbar repeatedly and/or try to cancel (Esc)/hit Connect again, so the credentials window might eventually resize itself correctly on its own.

Has anyone else seen this? It's been going on for years, and whether it'll work correctly or not on the first attempt is anyone's guess.
