Project
- Cause MuseScore to crash
- Select Send Bug Report
- Make sure "Restart MuseScore" (or something close to that) is checked
- Send report
- Acknowledge the report was sent
Result: MuseScore does not restart (most of the time)
Expected: MuseScore always restarts when the check box is checked.
Note: the check box was checked by default, I did not change it or recheck it.

Comments
Just happened again to me. Windows 7 64-bit
I confirm: it didn't restart after crash on my system. Win10/64Bit/MSc v3,0,3
OS: Windows 10 (10.0), Arch.: x86_64, MuseScore version (64-bit): 3.0.5.5992, revision: 58dd23d
The crash reporter still doesn't restart MuseScore, even when the "Restart MuseScore" box is ticked (default).
All of these reports are on windows. Does this affect Linux and Mac also?
Crash reporter is currently disabled on Mac and Linux so it should not be applicable there.
Concerning the "most of the time" part, does it mean that sometimes MuseScore still gets restarted?
I haven't yet seen a situation where MuseScore does restart automatically after a crash report.
On the few crashes I've seen it had never restarted
I don't know why I wrote "(most of the time)" it was a long time ago and I don't remember it ever restarting.
Came up again in #288653: Restart MuseScore

Still the case with 3.4.
How about removing that option, as long as it doesn't work anyway?
