Musescore 3 Diver Failure
Musescore 3 installs on windows 10 computer. When launching for the first time, it tries to automatically install yamaha usb driver. The drivers are already setup and installed for other software. When trying to install the driver, a regopenkeyex error shows.

Ciao sarahleejs, welcome.
I'm not a technician, so consider the following with the benefit of the doubt: Uninstall the drivers and then install MuseScore, or update the drivers and try again.
HTH

Why does MuseScore ask for the drivers at all? I would rather not have musescore touch the drivers in the first place, as they are the latest and correctly configured ones now.

That alert seems to be related to Generic driver throws error...
It didn't install anything like this on my Windows 7 or 10 systems.
Well this seems to a fatal problem with how Musescore is looking up devices on the system. After uninstalling and disconnecting all drivers, the problem persists. Musescore isn't actually installing the driver on initial install, it installs it when loading musescore for the first time. It may be checking for device compatibility or existing software, i'm not sure, but this shouldnt be happening when launching a program, it should only happen in preferences or handled by the user.

MuseScore isn't looking up devices. It isn't installing drivers either. It got to be something else doing this under the covers, like the Operating System itself, or maybe Qt

This looks like MScore is trying to access the YamahaMidi Device and the OS (Windows) detects that it needs a special driver and triggers that driver install/update. I bet any other program trying to access the device will trigger the same install attempt.
