MuseScore 4 Studio freezes while scanning audio plugins

• Nov 10, 2024 - 21:34

New at MuseScore, I tested it and made several sample scores. While exploring some of the setting options, I clicked on MuseHub's factory default as to where the program should be installed.The MuseScore froze and I had to shut it down using the operating system's option to quit unresponsive programs.

Now when I try to reboot the program, it freezes at the beginning when scanning audio plugins. Clicking on a MuseScore file, booting it by clicking the application icon, booting it from MuseHub all results with the program freezing at the same place.

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling. As an stand alone and with MuseHub and restarting the PC. Hope someone can help me.

Here is the screenshot showing the point where it freezes. musescore freeze screen shot.png

Personally, I use default download locations. I turn off everything in Settings and close the HUB. I only turn it on now and then to check for updates. You don't need it open to use MuseScore. I only start MU4 from the Desktop icon. And I update it from the download page in this forum.
Try to disable that plug-in and see if MU4 will start.
Un-install almost never works.

Thanks for the reply.
Actually I have deleted the HUB for the time being and reinstalled MuseScore. But I get the same result. I was thinking because MuseScore had been working previously, deleting everything might make it work. Is it possible that MuseScore isn't completely deleted and there are some elements of it lurking somewhere?
I also tried to find the "audio vst3" it seems to be stuck on, but a search by that name on disks was unfruitful.
