I'm guessing a display issue of some kind. No crashes, no errors, and a new instance was being properly launched and reported as running in the task manager--it just wasn't displaying on the screen. That's why I asked about dual displays. It acted exactly as if everything was running correctly, just not on a portion of the screen the user could see.

Doesn't Windows 10 have virtual desktops? Seeing as how the 32-bit version is a different executable in a different location, it wouldn't surprise me that that would "fix" the problem of the 64-bit version being configured to run on a different virtual desktop.

This is all guesswork on my part, of course. I have no idea if virtual desktops would work the way I described. I don't have Windows 10 to experiment with.
