This is a zip archive containing log files.
The user also attached a file filled with zeros here https://musescore.org/en/node/373237

Just looked at the log files - it is very interesting that MuseScore_241223_183103.log and MuseScore_241226_213024.log are full of zeros at the end. Have we seen corrupted log files before?

I haven't seen corrupted log files before. But we usually don't ask users to send diagnostic files in such cases.
And in case of a file open for writing (like in log files), zeros at the end of the file can be explained by the ntfs file system

But why does this happen with mscz files? I can delete the mscz file even if it is open in Musescore. Does this mean that the file is not open for reading or writing?

There is no reason for Musescore to keep the score file open. I think we need more details from the OP here. Or wait for other similar reports and see what they will say about the new Corruption dialog.

We see you were able to open the file successfully on the 23rd, then on the 26th it was corrupted. Can you remember what happened between the 23rd and the 26th? When did the laptop shutdown? Why did it shutdown? What happened when you started it again?

the last time i was on it was the 24th of December i guess i did not close it when i turned on my laptop i forgot to plug it in and it shut off
if i don't have it plugged in it will turn off

yes on the 23 i was able to open the file/score
The ntfs file system can explain zeros at the end of a file if it is open for writing (such as in log files). Even if the mscz file is open in Musescore, I can still remove it. Does this imply that you can't read or write to the file?https://stackoverflow.com/sprunki game/questions/5704103/what-causes-a-nul-character…
