Status active needs info

Steps to reproduce needed
Have you tried staring it with a double-click on to a score file? Or by using the -w commandline option?
If either works, disable the startcenter in Edit > Preferences

If not: Tried to reinstall/repair after a reboot (and without having started MuseScore before)?

Status needs info fixed

Fixed. Use the -F command using the Windows Key + R, input [ "C:\Program Files\MuseScore 3\bin\MuseScore3.exe" -F ]

I see, That might be the same, if done correctly, like removing files from both locations mentioned in the handbook and doing so with MuseScore not running, but -F or the corresponding menu is the saver bet
