Project
Windows 10 with Hebrew langauge.
Create a score and save it in a location with a Hebrew letter in the pathname (in the path or in the filename, or both - doesn't matter). Double-click the file. You get an error.
Doesn't matter if Musescore is currently open or not.
All other softwares open files with Hebrew in the pathname with no problem (i.e. the problem is not in the OS).
Simplest way to reproduce:
I created a score and saved it under the name "a" in the "documents" folder.
In Windows explorer I copied it and renamed the copy to "א" (Hebrew letter).
Double-click the first file - it opens.
Double-click the second one - you get an error (screenshot attached).

See #287955: In Windows Explorer, files with special characters in filepath don't open when double-clicked
workaround is to use File > Open

I do use File-Open , but it is very annoying.
By the way, I have another computer with the same version of Musescore, and there this problem doesn't exist.
Both with Windows 10.
I wonder why.
That can't really be. All MuseScore 3.x version on all Windows versions should affected by this. Fixed in current development builds and as such in 3.5, once that gets released
