Trying to launch MuseScore 3.5 on launch continues to constantly crash. It is able to load in "-s" mode. I am on a Dell Inspiron 13, with the MaxxAudioPro preinstalled. I also recently downloaded the DrumLine extension.

How do I do that without being able to open the application?

Normal, -F, and -s all result in the same immediate crash. Any other ideas?

The splash screen goes away naturally. It crashes within a second of the blank score appearing. It doesn't matter if I try to restore the previous session or not, it crashes regardless. I have been able to press buttons within that second, so it's not unresponsive. My computer can start it up again the instant it goes down, so it's not struggling or anything, it just seems to terminate itself.

I have a similar/same problem. Muse Score starts to open. Then I get a box which states, "The previous session quit unexpectedly. Restore session?" Pressing either Yes or No opens a seemingly blank DOS crash window and a MuseScore Crash Reporter window.
The problem seems to be with the Start Center.
Find your MuseScore 'scores' folder & double click on one of your scores. This will open Musescore. Then go 'Edit/Preferences' and then in the 'General/Program Start' section untick the 'Show Start Center' box. Click on 'OK'.
Close MuseScore and then open it as normal. It opens for me OK, but of course without showing the Start Center.

It works! Thanks Merv.
Then it is a duplicate of another frequent issue, see #275837: MuseScore crashes during start-up while displaying "Start center" and/or #278817: Start center crashes MuseScore if there is no Internet connection

It seems to work when I reset Musescore, but reinstalling the Drumline Extension causes Musescore to crash again. I feel like this may be the issuse, as it worked fine without the Drumline Extension, but the issues occur when it's downloaded, as that's when I started having these issues.

This seems to have worked for me. Was having the same problems, followed your instructions and, as of now, it is working. Thanks. I was worried there.
