One line summary of your issue
Game launches but there is no picture or window.

Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
The game launches and eventually music is played but nothing is visible. The desktop and any unminimized windows are shown with nothing from the game. Game icon appears in the taskbar and the preview shows the default window image. If nothing was clicked before the music began, the mouse is locked to the upper left corner of the screen until Alt+Tab is used. Alt+Tabbing to the program does nothing.
Attempted to use -popupwindow command line argument to force a windowed mode but no such luck. Have used GoG Galaxy to validate/repair game files and deleted and reinstalled the product. Updating Windows and graphics drivers has no change. Other fullscreen applications work as intended.

Steps to reproduce the issue
Launch the game.

System:
Windows 10 Version: 1803, (was happening prior to update today)
Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4690K CPU @ 3.50GHz, 3501 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s)
