After I open Musescore 3, there's a splash screen just like Musescore 2. But, after the splash screen, nothing happened, it doesn't run. Even I reinstall the program, still doesn't fix itself.
Comments
more infos needed: what OS? What MuseScore 3 exactly, which Beta or development build? Can you try using the commandline options -s (disable sound) and -w (disable web access)?
In reply to more infos needed: what OS?… by Jojo-Schmitz
Windows 10, Musescore 3.0 (Dev) to be exact and what do you mean with "-s" and "-w?"
see https://musescore.org/en/handbook/command-line-options
Usong -s and -w here is meant as troubleshooting means, nit as fix, to determine whether it is the sound system or internet access/firewall to be the possible culprit
May also try -F, factory reset

I don't get what you're trying to say but my main problem is Musescore 3.0 doesn't run.
Just try starting it with those command line options.

Where do I execute them?
you need to start musescore3.exe (or nightly.exe) from the command line and append the option to that
@CHMC,
What operating system do you use? This will determine how you run MuseScore from the command line.
Windows 10, see above

I need to learn to read slower sometimes.
To find the command line press the windows button and R at the same time. This will open the command line. Browse (using the "Browse..." button) to the MuseScore 3/bin directory under Program Files (x86) then type musescore3 -s, or replace the "s" with other letters suggested to see if it will run. Don't select musescore3.exe, or it will run without the -s.

He can use the properties for the shortcut if he has one to find the path to his executable. There is an open location button in properties that will make it easier to find where to browse to, to find MuseScore3.exe.

It's running now, thanks for the help guys! :D
OK, so it works with -s, but then, of course, without sound (see [#280201])
Seems there is some incompatibility between MuseScore (3) and your sound system?
Then again I understood you also have MuseScore 2 installed, and assume that works including sound, does it?
Have you tried -F instead of -s, once?

Is there any way to fix the sound?
I'd start by seeing if there is anything in the Handbook under "Known incompatibilities" that rings a bell. Also try updating all sound-related device drivers.
Could it be related to MuseScore 2 being 32bit and MuseScore 3 being 64bit, and the Sound drivers not talking 64bit? IIRC at one point we had the opposite being an issue?

Since I've got the same problem (Win10) I checked my onboard sound drivers: everything is up to date and 64bit. My DAWs are all running flawless (Reaper (64bit), Reason (64bit). I don't know how to proceed further
I found a solution how to run Musescore 3. I have this problem too, but if you want to open Musescore 3 and work with this software, you should open one .mscz file (if you have in your PC one, or download it) and Musescore 3 will work !
I can't open it normally, but if I open one .mscz file, all works.
I hope this information was useful for you.
:)
