Hi,

I have downloaded MuseScore 3 from Microsoft Store and it will not launch.

I keep getting a "LoadLibrary failure with error 1114: A Dynamic Link (DLL) initialization routine error" diagnostic.

I have uninstalled and downloaded again and reinstalled but still get the same issue.

My Laptop meets the system requirements.

Any suggestions for a fix would be appreciated.

Steve

See https://musescore.org/en/faq#faq-312352
And/or revert to factory settings

Hold on Microsoft Store? That got to be the quite outdated 3.3.4. Uninstall and get the latest version, 3.5.2, from the download page here

Terrific - many tks have downloaded from Download page as suggested and all seems ok - somehow when trying just that previously I got directed to the Microsoft Store??

I've never seen that. My guess is that Microsoft is responsible for that. You're probably using Edge and it saw you went to a download page that it had a program for.

Now that's the kinda scary... uh... hmm... telemetry.

I consider windows 10 and google to be viruses that try to take over your computer and you have to fight them to prevent them from gathering all of your data and making decisions for you. FYI, my email ends @gmail.com and I look at it in chrome on my windows 10 system.
