Issue loading Musescore 3.6.2
hello, I'm having issues loading Musescore 3.6.2. Every time I attempt to load it, it freezes, and doesn't open no matter how long I wait. I've tried opening from the icon as well as the score, and both lead to the same issue of freezing and refusing to open. Are there any known fixes to this issue?

Let's numerate some of the "fix attempts" so you can check them out and reply to each of them.
(0) What does "it freezes" mean?
(0.a) Can you see the main window?
(0.b) Is the start center open/visible?
(1) Try pressing Esc after launching it in case you have a modal dialog blocking it (such as the telemetry information dialog).
(2) Run with the "-w" argument (feel free to share a screenshot of the command if you're unsure about having executed it correctly.
(3) Run with -s argument
(4) Run with -t argument (test mode, will skip looking for a network printer)
Let's start with these questions/answers and see where we can go from there.
