How do I downgrade back to MuseScore 3
Musescore 4 playback has been unbelievably laggy, despite my PC specs including i9 processor, and 32 gb ram.
This lag renders the program unusable.
This never occurred in MuseScore 3, so I want to downgrade back to that version, but don’t know how. Any support would be greatly appreciated.

Funny that, I've underclocked mine to 900 MHz and it works fine, even with a full orchestra. Try going into edit>preferences>I/O, and setting the buffer size higher.
It's also possible that someone jacked your pc to mine cryptos. There's a video on youtube about that: https://youtu.be/aJ37b2-OhH8
Oh, I bet you don't have the latest ASIO driver either. https://www.asio4all.org/
Ignore this guy and just download MS3 from the download page.
Besides it's not just about specs. https://musescore.org/en/node/339915
I do not think there is a way to downgrade. I tried, and MS3 cannot read MS4 files.

Export from MS4 as musicmxl. That will open in MS3. As long as you have MS4 installed, the scores you save in your MS3 scores folder will have the MS4 icon. Right click on them and select open with MS3.
MU4 might pick the wrong audio driver (API) for your device,
MU3 does this sometimes, but in MU3 you can see
what driver (API) is beeing used and change that if needed.
