Oblivion window not appearing on screen

The game was working just fine an hour ago.

 

I'm trying to play Oblivion in windowed mode. It has to be windowed, because I need a timer on-screen as well to keep track of how long I'm playing.

 

However, when I launch the game in windowed mode, the window doesn't appear on screen. I can hear the main menu music. I can see a mirror image of the game window on my OBS studio (though it's on a brief delay, so I can't use it for actual gameplay). I've tried rebotting the computer; I've tried going into the task manager, right clicking on Oblivion in the applications tab, and selecting "bring to front." I've tried everything. The only thing that allows me to see the original game window is if I go full-screen, but then I can't keep a timer!

 

I've tested numerous other games. Not all the games I own, but enough. This does't happen on any other game. I've tried Dragon Age Origins, Skyrim (2011 and 2015 versions), Fallout New Vegas, Fallout 4, and WWE 2k19. All of them launch in windowed mode with no fuss.

 

Any ideas?
