Solved! Cannot get the mouse cursor inside a pop-up to make a selection! Any suggestions?

OK. Using WIN10 Home and just got a new monitor - 32" LG 32QN600-B, driving it with a DP connection and an older GEForce GTX 1660 Ventus XS 6G OC - and I have screen resolution set to 2560X1440/75Hz. (Which is what the monitor supports.) I get a pop-up when the PC wakes that says something to the effect, Screen not currently set to the recommended resolution. Configure the PC to 2560x1440/60Hz...
Monitor supports 75 HZ as does the GPU. (I don't see a Dispay Setting in Control Panel only the NVIDIA Control Panel. If I set it to use NVIDIA color setting it goes to 2650X1440/60Hz, but if I set it to use Default color settings, I can refresh at 75 Hz.
OK, I guess I can live with the 60Hz refresh rate, but if I set 75 Hz, I get this annoying popup every time the PC comes alive - it only lasts for 15-20 seconds - but I CANNOT GET THE MOUSE CURSOR to enter the popup to make a selection. The mouse cursor works OK up to the edge of the popup but will NOT GO INTO the popup!
Q1: Why won't the mouse cursor go into the silly popup?
Q2: After reviewing the monitor specs it says " Max Resolution 2560x1440 @ 75 HZ, but Recommended Resolution 2560x1440 @60 Hz." And, of course GPU supports max resolution of 7680x4320 with a max refresh rate of 240 Hz, or some such. OK, maybe the monitor's recommended refresh rate of 60 HZ for the monitor is the issue? any guidance?

1)the popup is from the monitor hardware, not windows

Still do not understand. Even using the keyboard arrow keys or the keyboard Enter key, the popup selections cannot be activated/selected. I guess I just need to go back to only 60Hz refresh. Heck, it was only a cheapo $250 34" LG monitor anyway. Thnx for the attention. Stay safe and healthy in these troubling times.

there is only video output. there is no keyboard/mouse
use the monitor control if there any

Aahhh! Got it. Use the stupid monitor selector control. Stoopid me. 🆒 (It's the little bitty thinggie under the screen. (Bet it works the next time I see the popup.) Thanks to those reding and making suggestion. (Never used the under screen selector...did not know it was there - my stoopid!
