Thank you for clarifying that you're playing on a laptop! Let's troubleshoot the issue where the game screen is not appearing. Here are some steps we can take to try and resolve it:

1. Check Task Manager:
- Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open the Task Manager.
- Look for the Cooking City game in the list. If you see it running but can't see the display, it might be minimized or on another screen.

- Ensure your graphics drivers are up to date. You can usually do this through your laptop's manufacturer website or through the Device Manager in Windows.

5. Compatibility Settings:
- Right-click on the Cooking City game icon on your desktop and select Properties.
- Go to the Compatibility tab. Check the box for "Disable fullscreen optimization" and see if that helps.

If these steps don’t work, we may need to check if there’s a bug issue reported for the game. There have been recent updates aimed at addressing bugs and crashes, so it might help to ensure you're running the latest version of the game as well. 1

Please let me know how these steps work for you!
