Musescore 4 opens and the file loads but there is no Musescore display on the screen.
When I open a Musescore file, Musescore opens and the file loads but there is no Musescore display on the screen. Windows Task Manager it shows Musescore is running and if I hit the space bar, playback begins.

Thanks, Shoichi.
I worked through the suggestions given at the link you sent. They did not solve the problem.
I have done factory resets several times to no avail.
This is driving me nuts. Especially when I know it is running!
I am not impressed with Musescore 4. All that it has done for me is make what I do harder, if not impossible. I was quite happy with Musescore 2, truth be known.

Try MuseScore 3 then, I switched to it with 3.0.1 and never looked back.
I have not switched to MuseScore 4, and most probably won't even with 4.4.0...

Thanks, Joj-Schmitz. I wish I had not switched. Even though I now have a large number of scores created or converted to MS4 format and my ensemble has also switched over, I have thought about going back.
I tried to download "earlier versions" on the MS website but could only seem to download a "portable" copy of MS3.
I'll try again.

3.x won't read Mu4 scores, but my MuseScore 3.7 Evolution will, check https://github.com/Jojo-Schmitz/MuseScore/wiki
Can you post a screen shot of your entire monitor while a score is playing?

Regarding the MU4 icon in the task bar.
What do you see when mouse over it?
What choices come up if you right click on it? Is unpin from taskbar one of them?
What happens if you click it?
When was the last time you restarted your computer?
Or cleared your cache?

When I hover the curser over the MU4 icon in the task bar, it shows two little blank screens. One with the MuseScore file name on the top line, one with MuseScore Studio on the topline.
On right click, "Pin to taskbar" is an option. Pinning it makes no difference nor unpinning afterwards.
I restart my computer at least once a day and have had this problem for weeks.
My antivirus software scans daily to remove malware and cookies etc.
I tried to do as many of the things in the your link that I could, given that I have Windows 11. It is quite different. Is this advice available for Window 11?

As I had dared to hope, after I updated to MU 4.4, I can see Musescore works fine again. I wish I knew what caused the problem and I hope it doesn't happen again.
