Blank Score
It seems like I'm not the only person to have had this issue and variations of this have been ongoing for years - I have read through RickyRickster's forum on this subject as well as Phillip Foster's, however my problem seems to be slightly different. But Musescore 3(.6.2) decided to crash and prompted me to close the software. When I opened the score back up again it was fine by when I tried to close Musescore again it asked me if I wanted to save, and when I did the score would open up blank as presented below. There doesn't seem to be a backup file available and when I attempted the 7zip solution it replied with an error message. I'm not great with file behavior and programming, etc., So any clarification on how to solve this issue would be appreciated.

You cannot solve the blank file - it is a blank file. You can guard against this situation in future by saving your file frequently and by making backup copies with different names +/- in different places. If your operating system has links to cloud storage you should look there to see if a previous copy remains.
No idea what RickyRickster's or Phillip Foster's forum might be?
That score is just the 'My First Score", i.e a single staf, 32 measures, no notes in it at all. Only thin that makes it different from that is the filename
Still you should try to look for autosave version of the score, see How to recover a backup copy of a score

Ah! Their forum posts here in the MuseScore Forum, not their own forum.

Yes, sorry.
Also not sure if this will help, but here's an earlier pdf of the original score prove that there was something there (the File properties also show that the score was created on an earlier date). The most recent version adds around 15 measures or so that I can't remember at the top of my head so it would be nice to have a workaround. The windows file path mentioned on your link seems to be unlocatable. Anything else I can try?

That filepath is accessible, but hidden by default, as the HowTo does mention

Well Musescore is weird, just found everything in backup after rechecking! Really appreciate your help!
