Just installed the final version of MuseScore 4.0 and Windows Security detects it as a threat.
It is Windows 10's embedded ransomware protection that is getting triggered:
As a result MuseScore 4.0 crashes at launch.
The folder Windows says that it is protecting is %userprofile%\Documents\MuseScore4\SoundFonts
Hope this helped.

I just created an exception for MuseScore and it's no longer blocking it... but MuseScore 4 is still crashing.
