Unable to save file - MuseScore Studio 4.3.1.2....
I just installed the upgrade to MuseScore Studio (from Musescore 4.something, have been keeping relatively current) and now I am unable to save files to my (Windows 11) laptop. The same error message "File not found. Check the file name and try again." appears whether I work with an existing file or create a new one.
Based on other posts, this isn't a new/unique problem, but I can't find a solution that works for me.
I tried:
- logging into MuseScore (the update had logged me out)
- temporarily turning off Real Time protection
(Workaround - I can save a copy to my Desktop, but then rearranging files later is a pain).
Help?

Same problem here. I've tried save, save as, export.

I'm confused! "File not found" is not an error you would get when saving. It's an error you would get when trying to open a file.

Yes, apparently might be because a hidden temp file is created (?). But definitely get the File not found msg on “Save” & Save As”
I uninstalled everything and just re-installed the latest release - (4.3.2), with the same problem.
Not file specific, the error is on 'Save', or 'Save As'.
I've gone back to Musescore 4.2.1 (tried 4.3.0 unsuccessfully), and it works fine. I only have a couple of files created in versions newer than that (that 4.2 can't recognize), so will live with that.
But would love to hear if there is a solution! Someday I'll want/need to upgrade.

Brilliant, thanks it worked! It was WIndows Defender. Rather than turn off all protection, I was able to go in and select just the Musescore app (Virus & Threat Protection > Protection History > click on "Protected folder access blocked> Contolled folder access settings.... lets you select specific folders or specific apps).

Is & allowed in a pathname?

Apparently. There are other items in that folder that are unaffected. Regardless, it appears that Windows Defender was interfering. I have no difficulty saving now that I followed that fix.
But something to keep an eye on in future, for sure. Thanks, Jojo!
