MuseScore 4 crashing on open

• Dec 14, 2022 - 19:49

I've installed (and uninstalled/re-installed, both from the MuseHub and standalone) the latest version and it crashes on the splash screen every time. I've tried admin mode and various compatibility modes but no luck.

I'm on Windows 11 Pro, latest update. My audio device is a PreSonus Studio 1810c.
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X
RAM: 64GB
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti

I'm also running Sonarworks/Sound ID Reference but I've tried booting MuseScore without that running and still hit the same issue.

Do you have any VST plugins installed on your system?

Also, could you please upload the contents of the %LOCALAPPDATA%\MuseScore\MuseScore4\logs folder? (To get there, copy-paste that path into the address bar in Windows Explorer)

Yep, tonnes of VST plugins. Fabfilter, iZotope, SoundToys, Waves, etc. I've collected a fair few over the years.

I've attached the most recent log file from the folder you mentioned (there are a bunch in there, but they all seem to contain the same data). Had to change the extension to .txt so it would let me upload here, it was originally .log.

I'm not seeing that particular error code in the logs and I'm not getting a popup or anything when the program crashes on my system. It shows the splashscreen that says it's loading then it disappears, that's about as far as it gets. Looking at the logs it may be something to do with it trying to open WASAPI drivers for my audio interface when it's running ASIO, but I'm not sure.

Do you still have an unanswered question? Please log in first to post your question.
