musescore 4.4 - 4.4.2 is not working

• Oct 22, 2024 - 16:15

Splash screen appears on screen, but musescore studio doesn't run after the splash screen goes off.
This problem happens repeatedly since 4.4 update.

I've tried several methods (installing on musehub, installing without musehub, reverting musescore studio to factory settings ...), and it still doesn't work.
I also tried installing one of previous version(4.3.2) that worked before, but it maked same problem above after this issue happened first.

When the splash screen goes off, does the Windows task manager show MuseScore as running?
Is MuseScore studio being directed to a second monitor that is presently disconnected?
Perhaps the window is off-screen and not showing.

  1. I launched Musescore studio with Windows task manager opened and checked all items of "apps" and "background processes".
    I couldn't find any Musescore-related programs running.

  2. I've never used second monitor - but It made sense that the monitor setting somehow unwantedly changed and might be causing this issue, so I checked by Windows key+P.
    It was on its default setting: it said there was only one monitor I was looking at and not another.

I have the same problem, in that when I click on "Open" the splash screen will appear, saying Musescore is "loading", but it never actually opens (although the icon will show in my taskbar of my MacBook laptop). I eventually have to force quit Musescore.
However, this "won't Open" issue started a few weeks ago, before the update, even though I have been using Musescore for a number of years.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling a number of times, bt always the same "it won't Open" problem.
How do I get this resolved?
