Sometimes no matter how many times I click on MuseScore it just won't start... even the blue startup screen doesn't show up. I have to restart the computer to get it running. How am I able to diagnose this problem?


Comments

maybe it does run, but outside the visible screen, like on a screen that once was attached additionally but currently is not?
If so a factory reset might help.

But I too had seen a 'stray' MuseScore3.exe in Task Manager a few times, seemingly one that indeed didn't terminate properly. Sort of a zombie, not quite dead

I noticed that when MuseScore is closed immediately after opened (and I mean <0.5 second, which is usually an unintended close), it will still be in the task manager, thus trying to launch MuseScore again will fail.
