Musescore Crashing on Startup

• Jun 12, 2019 - 22:36

When I go and open up Musescore, I get a message asking me to restore my last session. Whichever option I choose ends up leading to the same problem with the program going to the main screen with a blank score for a few seconds, and then it just closes out on me.

I have no idea what has caused this issue, but I cannot seem to fix it. I have seen similar problems on these forums but they haven't helped me out much.

Is there anything that I should submit to help with my situation better? I'm running the program on Windows 10 and this is the only issue that I have experienced so far with the program.

Most likely it will turn out there is a corrupt file in the folder MuseScore is trying to start in or otherwise trying to look at on startup. Try the procedure in the Handbook for reverting to factory settings. One thing that will often allow you to start is to start by double-clicking a known good score in your file browser, rather than starting from the program icon. Then you can just do Help / Revert to Factory Settings.

Or it is the start center causing a crash, try starting MuseScxore by double-clicking a score file, if that works, go to Edit > Preferences > General and disable "Show start center"
