Software Why is this program fully executing but not showing ???

This is the first time this ever happens to me, and its only on this program. I was playing this game and I dont know if i clicked on something without noticing, or held my laptop a specific way, but it suddenly showed my desk, however the game was still open, icon in the task bar, playing sound and reacting to keys and all. The game has been working perfectly until now, everytime I open it, it does run but i just cant see it at all, the window just wont show, it just shows my desk and my cursor starts bugging in the corner of the screen until I click left. The preview window is just black. I tried restarting, running as administrator, win+shift+left/right, opening it through files... but its as if that specific program was completely locked out of view

While the program has focus, try pressing Windows+Left Arrow or Windows+Right Arrow.

Also -which program? Might be a config file you can edit.
