Voicws in 2.3.
I did have the Musescore 2.2 beta, before and found a very useful way to separate the voices such as Alto, soprano and so forth. On the same windows 7 but that has been done away with during the update.
I simply filled the bars with its notes and after completing the score I selected the first bar and on the voice at the top of the page a chose 2. It separated the higher notes and turned up the staves and turned the lower ones down.
I worked through the howl script including the base ones. It very much helped congregational singing.
It seems that that dose not work in MuseScor 2.3! I had to change each note of voice or laying just the one voice at a time.
The attachment is an example of my preference.
I have been looking in Marc’s book to see if the Musescore 2.3 has a different way to do the same thing? But so far not found any way.
OS is Windows 7. but I have a Windows 10 as well

I apologise, I don't think I understood.
By chance you refer to : https://musescore.org/en/handbook/tools#explode
When I select the first measure and press the Voice 2 icon I get the notes of Voice 1 become Voice 2 and four rests instead of Voice 1. I believe that operating system or version is not involved
As already explained in https://musescore.org/en/node/10220#comment-844000 :
2.2 beta can't do more than 2.3, creating linked parts from voices is a feature in master, which will become 3.0 one day
You can however extract the S/A part twice and in one hide and silence soprano and on the other hide and silcence Alto
I think you are mis-remembering something about how you did it in 2.2 - nothing has changed in this respect since 2.2, or indeed 2.1 or even 2.0.
Clicking the voice 2 button does not and never has separated chords for you. It has always worked on the selected notes - all of them. So if you select an entire measure, then all the notes in that measure - top and bottom - get moved to voice 2. It's been that way as long as this feature has existed.
It's possible that as mentioned above, you were actually using the Explode tool to separate the top and bottom notes. That does indeed work. Or, perhaps you were actually using Ctrl+click to select just the bottom notes. That works too, and would be easier for a small selection while the Explode method would be easier for a larger score.
