Unable to open some Midi file
After updated to version 4.4, some midi files could not be opened (even though those were created by previous version of MuseScore) . Could you give me some advice? Many thanks.

Hereunder is one of the file. MuseScore can open some midi files in the same folder but failed for others.

Do you have special characters in the file name or file path, such as ä, ö, ü, é, á, etc.?
Musescore 4.4. cannot open this at the moment.

The file name or file path are made of Chinese characters but no the special characters you mentioned above. No such issue when I opened them in previous versions.

Please it's the same issue and known regression of the 4.4. This one: https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/issues/24289 is marked as duplicate of : https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/issues/23811
Have you tried a workaround ? E.g. : menu File / Open / select and open your file

Due to this known issue: https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/issues/23811 (already fixed for the upcoming 4.4.1)
Meanwhile, 2 workarounds:
1. rename your file (without these problematic characters), or
2. go to menu File / Open etc.
