Software does not start

• Feb 6, 2017 - 16:44

Hi,

I'm new to musescore and just installed it, but it won't start, neither as "normal user", nor as "administrator". There are no messages, it seems like nothing is happening. Systen is Windows 10 Pro 64Bit. Compatibility mode (Win7) doesn't help too. Any ideas?

Greetings
Seb

I was having this problem and managed to fix it.
If you open task manager, you should find the "musescore.exe" process running. Go to the details tab. Right click on musescore and select "analyze wait chain". This will show you what musescore is waiting for. For me, it was something like "spoolsvc" which i think is something to do with printing. I ended that process and musescore opened.
I haven't experimented beyond that to see if it happens again, but if i learn more i'll be back.
