Question #676426 on Sikuli changed:

    Status: Open => Answered

RaiMan proposed the following answer:
I am sorry, but I have no idea.

To start the given executable internally a command execution is detached:
cmd /c start "" /B "path-to-executable"

To get the state of the app, internally this Win command is executed:
tasklist /V /FO CSV /NH /FI "IMAGENAME eq <executable>"

where <executable> is the executables name (from given executable path
the name only as <name>.exe: 3dsmax.exe in your case)

Since from the code I cannot see any reason for blocking, I cannot help
you currently.

I will revise the App.open() stuff a little bit, to get more info about
what is happening and ask you to test again.

If it is urgent, then you have to implement your own app-start solution
with os.Popen, that you already use apparently.
