Upgrading to 4.4 is UNRELIABLE
I just updated to 4.4 and it totally trashed my recent files list, reverting to something from months ago. Also, it has played havoc with my plug-ins, removing the names on some, and refusing to install others. Worse than that, the file I was working on didn't save properly and is now lost.
I'll never upgrade Musescore again unless I absolutely have to. This is a total mess. Fortunately, I have a hard copy, but I'll now have to re-input the entire score.

Musescore saves backup files in a hidden .mscbackup folder, which is located in the same place as your project file.
There should be a file named .name_of_your_file.mscz~
where "name_of_your_file" is the name of your project file.
Copy it to another location, remove the ~ from the file name and try to open it.
It almost sounds like you had MU4 open when you updated.

And I meant MuseScore open with a score loaded'
I'm having problems too. I can create a new part without the software shutting down. I probably did have the earlier version open when I upgraded, but MuseScore asks you to upgrade as soon as you open the software so it's natural to do it that way.
