OK, so the play button is gray (as in the image).
To view the synthesizer, do you also receive a message like this?
If so, click on Esc a few times.

This means PortAudio isn't working.

If it has never worked on the current operating system then you may want to check out https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-hardware/m…
In the first reply there is a link to a Microsoft explanation, but I directed you here for context.

So you are saying that MsueScore plays normally most of the time, but every once in a while it will not let you press Play? If its the same issue as the one originally described here, the problem is most likely that you have accidentally enabled Edit mode by double clicking something. Simply press Esc and you will be back in Normal mode (see lower left of the main window to know what mode you are in).
If this is not what you are seeing, then it must be something different from what was originally described here, so please start a new thread and describe your problem in more detail. For instance, are there some scores that play for you and others don't? Or all do most of the time, but after some specific sequence of operations playback stops working? Or does playback simply never work? If you go to Eidt Preferences I/O, what do you see? How about View / Synthesizer?
