Severity S1 - Blocker ⇒ S2 - Critical
Status active ⇒ needs info
Workaround No ⇒ Yes

Then start it with a project (AKA score) (workaround #1) and then disable the Startcenter in Edit > Perferences > General (workaround #2) or start it using the -w command line option (workaround #3)

First you may want to try reverting it to factory settings though

Thanks for your help, disabling the startcenter totally worked, and it didn't crash anymore. But when I go to File>Start Center, it crashed again. Do you mind explaining why enabling startcenter results in a crash?(PS: I don't need anything from start center, but I hope to learn more about this from an expert, also, thank you for correcting me in addressing the issue).

What causes this is yet unknown, only the fact that it does on certain Windows 10 version is
And it seems to be the WebView part of it only (the part of the dialog that shows scores from musescore.com), that would get disabled by using the -w command line option
