RE: It does come up at the bottom of the Windows column with a checkmark next to it
That means it's open but out of view / pushed off the edge of the visible QuickBooks desktop.
To reset the size and position of the window to the default, first close all windows (pick Window | Close all from the QB Menu), then while holding down the Shift key pick Pay Bills from the Vendors menu.
