Musescore 4 stopped loading after installing macOS 12.6.2

Musescore 4 no longer loads after installing macOS 12.6.2. Tried a fresh reboot, still no luck. Musescore 3 still loads fine.

Musescore 4 had been working, I just installed it about a week ago. I have Musehub loaded. Thoughts? Thanks...

Musescore 4 crashes with the following message and system info:

Makes sense, thanks. Anything special for a reinstall, or just drag Musehub and Musescore to the trash from the Applications folder?

If I had to guess, it might be related to Bitdefender being nervous about Musescore. I thought I told Bitdefender to basically "allow all" for Musescore, but might have missed a step.

Similar problem? MuseScore 4 working fine yesterday, not today. MacOS 13.0 on iMac. No crash log. Did a few loops of uninstalling (deleting) and reinstalling, with error messages, but has just now started working again.
