Musescore constantly hangs
I have installed Musescore on my Dell desktop. I tried 3.6.0, 3.5.2, and 3.5.0. Every time, when I start entering notes, it immediately freezes after only 3 - 4 notes. Then I have to stop the program. I cannot create any music at all. Is this a memory issue? I did not have this issue with my laptop.
Thank you.

Just now. Didn't work. As soon as I enter 3 or more notes via the computer keyboard, it hangs.

A score of a few notes is little demanding on pc resources, are the audio and graphics drivers up to date?
Don't use 3.6.0 nor 3.5.0, as 3.6.2 and 3.5.2 have been put out for a reason.
Then give more information, what operating system, and then sptep by step explaning how do you open a score, how are you entering notes etc.

3.6.2 does too. As did 3.5.2, back when that was the latest version.
We should rather find out whether 3.6.2 does work for you, and if not why that is.
You can try the PortableApp for that BTW.

Now 3.4.2 is hanging too. Must be my machine. I had it working like a champ on my Dell laptop. My Dell desktop is old, so I don't know what I might need to update. I have an older Dell laptop on which it is hanging as well. I would have to look up the specs on each machine. Any suggestions?

I don't think the age of the compure plays a role here. Before I got my new computer some months ago I was working happily on a more than 7 years old machine. More the age of the Operating System and its drivers?
What operating System (exactly, try "winver" on a commandline prompt)?
What are the other specs of the computer(s) you are using?

Should be fine, although your behind with the Windows 10 updates by 2 years. Consider updating to 20H2, IIRC 1903 is out of support (by Microsoft)

Okay well that is good in a way, but it is still hanging.
