I am running ver. 3.6.2.548021803 on Windows 11 Lenovo Thinkpad
Load and play a score.
Leave machine idle for several hours.
Click play button. Nothing happens.
Click reset player button. Nothing happens.

Workaround is to restart Musescore, then player works.

I left Musescore running idle for a while. Went back and pressed the player button. Nothing. Tried to toggle the midi button; nothing. Was able to close the open score. I had two additional scores previously loaded. I toggled the midi button. The player worked with those. Reloaded the score that did not play and it now played fine.

I wonder if my issue is a Musescore problem or a Windows 11 weirdness. I may never know. The same version of Musescore runs without this issue on my other Windows 10 laptop.

I use Musescore everyday and admire your excellent product. I am looking forward to release 4.
