In my case it just doesn't start at all. Nothing seems to happen when I try to launch the program. Will try rolling back to v3.4.1.

My guess is the dialog that displays to ask your permission to send telemetry data got hidden by another window. Use Alt+Tab to cycle through the open windows and you should get it back.

Sure not. Would have to be "MuseScore3.exe has stopped working"... Else it'd be MuseScore 2
Did you try the revert fo factory settings? Or the uninstall/reinstall that helped @paulvp?

See https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/revert-factory-settings#instruction…
Or https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/install-windows#uninstall-windows and https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/install-windows#install-windows
Hard to say what might be happening, but one thing to try is using the "-F" command line option to revert to factory settings. See the Handbook for more info on running from the command line.

Hi Mark, thanks for your replies. I reverted to version 3.4.1 and everything is fine. So I'll stick with 3.4.1 for now even though I'd very much like to get the issues around drum set note entry resolved (there have been a number of other threads on this with a fix due to happen in 3.4.2. Something to do with the single click implementation).
I'd very much like to avoid reverting to factory settings.
Cheers

Update: I just uninstalled version 3.4.1 and then installed 3.4.2 and all seems to be working normally. Previously I installed 3.4.2 over the top of 3.4.1.

I figured out that it is only the start center that makes it crash, not when I open it. If I open a score it will open but as soon as I open the start center it crashes

Ah, that is a frequently reported issue and since quite a while.
In Edit > Prefererences > General you can disable the startcenter, or you can use the -w command line option (similar to the revert to factory procedure) to disable just its Web part.

I don't have any explanation for that though, I'm not aware of any change in MuseScore that might explain this
Yes, 3.4.2 always crashes on the startup feedback screen for me - on Ubuntu 18.04 running the AppImage - I had to kill it from the task manager. I am stuck back with 3.3.3 ( also .AppImage ) as the last version that works on Ubuntu Studio for me without glitch. Looking forward to trying the next appimage when it comes out ! cheers, matt

Did you try the suggestions further up, like using the -F or -w options?

I did try the idea to alt tab, no luck.
and I just did -F with no change.

haha ! thank you ! why didn't i just try esc. yes that worked to get to the prog. and i telem log no longer appears. so i can't give you a screenshot. fyi the telemetry screen appeared in part and provided no functionality.
cheers, m
