Problems Updating Musescore
I've been trying to download the new update for musescore 4.4.3 for a couple weeks now but every time I do download the update the next time I open up musescore I'm prompted to download it again. This has never been an issue with any of the other updates before.
I think it's related that today after once again trying to download the new update I spent about 5 hours working on a score. Through the process I saved it multiple times and then when I finished I tried to save multiple versions of it (Bb, C, and with lyrics added) and so I kept doing what I usually do which is use Save As and save by a different name. I tried this about 6 or 7 times but no save window popped up so finally I tried to restart musescore. I was prompted to save before closing with I did 3 more times, but the program wouldn't close so I finally I clicked on "don't save". After attempting to save my score and spending a whole day on it everything disapeared, nothing was automatically saved, and none of my save attempts worked. I'm furious. What is going on???

There is a backup folder in your scores folder that is hidden. Check hoe to view hidden folders for your OS.
Sometime Musescore will save the first save attempt to the last folder you saved to.
Run a search of your hard drive for the title of the file.
No idea why SaveAs didn't ask a location.
Also I've started deleting the old version of MU4 ( then restart computer) before downloading and installing a new version.
Good luck

Thanks Bob,
None of these things worked. But I’ll take your advice on deleting the old versions before downloading the new one.

Save your scores, but search for and delete everything else. Program files. AppData. and more.
