Sometimes i had to restart my pc, not just the game to get window mode to work again. Don't know why but you might wish to give it a try; good luck.

Not sure why you would even want to run a FPS in a window, but rebooting should fix this issue.

Not sure if it'll work, but some games can be forced into windowed mode by adding -w behind the target for the icon you're using.
