Windows Gamemaker Error on Startup - Program Unusable

Hey all, I have been using GM2 for a few days with absolutely no issues. Today I started up the program, and the "welcome screen" or "startup screen" or whatever for GM2 is HUGE. what i mean is the program itself is scaled to be HUGE., the UI. the icons are massive. So that a few letters take up the entire screen saying "WELCOME." It is making the program unusable because I basically can't click or find anything. The entire program is basically just saying "WELCOME" to me and that's it. I have no idea what has caused this change in the program UI size. I haven't done anything differently. I need some help. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Okay, you need to delete the file: "%programdata%\GameMakerStudio2\dpi_override.json" then restart GMS2. That should put it into the default DPi setting again... The issue is usually caused by changing the DPi Override settings in the Preferences.

Thank you... but I can't find that particular file anywhere? Am I perhaps looking in the wrong places?

just fyi, i did do a clean reinstall of the program... but nothing seems to work. The interface is just enormous. And unfortunately I can't find that Dpi override file anywhere on any of my hard drives.
