Today I'm trying to open MuseScore but it crashes all the time even before it opens. I don't know what happened cause I used it till yesterday and it was working perfectly. Could someone help me? Thank you

You need to compress the file. Look at the very last couple of lines in the link that Jojo provided:
“Compress the file using zip or 7z for files exceeding that size or not being among the allowed extensions.”

No, it doesn't work. The version 4.4.4 is working. When I run it, it asks me to update to the newest version and I tried this time to update the app in this way but same issue. Do you have any suggestions on how to open with the old version (4.4.4 in my case) a project that I saved in the last one (4.5.1)?

"No, it doesn't work."
Really-really curious. When does it fail? Are you getting any kind of message?
This may be unrelated (probably...), but what version of Windows11 are you using? Have you installed the latest 24H2 version? I've read that some people are complaining about various problems. And if you have version always 23H2, what does Windows Update (Windows Settings) say?
"Do you have any suggestions on how to open with the old version (4.4.4 in my case) a project that I saved in the last one (4.5.1)?"
Yes, install Version 3.7 Evolution, see: https://sites.google.com/view/musescore-3-evolution/

Let's just say that if you could remember what changed in the MuseScore environment between the day it worked and the day it didn't, that would move us forward.

I have no idea what changed honestly. I just know that till some days before yesterday I was able to open the latest version of MuseScore normally. While from yesterday it just seems that it gets interrupted somehow as soon as I run it. Anyway I'm glad you tried to help me, thank you.
