Load and play a score.
Leave machine idle for several hours.
Click play button. Nothing happens.
Click reset player button. Nothing happens.
Workaround is to restart Musescore, then player works.

What 'Reset Player' button? The MIDI button?

The left arrow |< button that I think is also called the rewind button.
Then do give that MIDI button (looks like a 5-pin DIN connector) a try, off and back on.

I left Musescore running idle for a while. Went back and pressed the player button. Nothing. Tried to toggle the midi button; nothing. Was able to close the open score. I had two additional scores previously loaded. I toggled the midi button. The player worked with those. Reloaded the score that did not play and it now played fine.
I wonder if my issue is a Musescore problem or a Windows 11 weirdness. I may never know. The same version of Musescore runs without this issue on my other Windows 10 laptop.
I use Musescore everyday and admire your excellent product. I am looking forward to release 4.

Further to the above issue, toggling the MIDI button helps. Thanks.
