Well, I finally found the culprit: Acronis True Image 2018. Apparently, when you install Acronis True Image, it also installs an anti-ransomware product called Active Protection without telling you. Nor does Active Protection provide you with any notifications that it has blocked anything else from running. I went through and examined every single running process and application on my system. I skipped over Acronis multiple times because it's supposed to just be backup software. And I had already verified repeatedly that Windows Defender firewall and anti-virus weren't blocking it. It wasn't until I actually went through everything the third time and finally looked at Acronis that I found the screen that listed Tower!3D's running processes as suspicious that I figured it out. Once I added tower3d.exe, mmwindow.exe and towerspeakbridge.exe as exceptions the 2nd monitor popups started working.

Gave it a try with no luck. Tried opening each popup about 15 times with no success. Same thing every time. Opens for about a 1/3 of a second, then closes. Not sure if it makes a difference, but I'm running dual 1080p monitors.

No, it does not remain in the task bar.

Unfortunately, mine closes after about 1/2 a second, every single time I try to open it.

Makes no difference. Acts the same in either mode

I have tried that. It's not preventing the windows from opening. They open, then immediately close.

Yes

Just bought the Steam version of Tower!3D Pro, as well as a couple of add-on airports to try out. I can't get the three panels to open into the 2nd monitor popups. None of the three will open. There's a popup that opens for about 1/2 a second before it closes again. Captured the logs for all three and have attached the files. mmwindow.zip
