I have noticed recently when I set my Instrument to invisible and the save the file, when I reopen the Musescore file the instrument becomes visible again and have to re-setting back to invisible. Even if I try to save my style with the instrument name as invisible, then when I open the file that has is using the style the instrument name becomes visible again. This feature use to work perfectly but not sure if an update released has caused this to happen.

thanking you for your assistance.

Instrument names are generated on the fly for each system, so properties won't stick across a relayout operation that causes them to be regenerated. That includes reloading the file but also anything that changes the number of measures on the line. So I believe this is "by design".

If you don't want to see an instrument name, simply delete it - no need to mark the, invisible.
