![]() ![]() I'm personally not expecting anyone will end up doing anything about 3.6.2, but will instead wait for 4.0.If you want to find if your device qualifies for the upcoming Windows 11 update or not, use Windows 11 Requirements Check Tool to discover it. The issue with getting software into the Microsoft store is mostly one of resources, as I understand it - someone on the MuseScore team has to spend the time and effort jumping through the necessary hoops, and apparently they are some pretty gnarly hoops that no one has had time to deal with lately. That's the main purpose of S mode - to prevent you from installing software you download from anywhere else Anyhow, almost certainly you are correct that S mode is preventing you from installing the version from this site. If I understand correctly, in S mode, it won't install at all (but maybe it also redirects you to the Microsoft store). Because again, if you literally have the 3.6.2 MSI file downloaded, there is no way it could have installed any other version. I'm not too familiar with "S" mode, but I'm guessing what happened is, the download page detected you were on that version and thus redirected you to the Microsoft store version. I can't imagine I'm the only one upset about that). So, I'm going to wait a few months until they get the bugs worked out - not to mention putting back (hopefully) some of these features they removed. (Besides, in using my current Windows 11 laptop, I have discovered missing features that didn't get carried over from Windows 10, and I'm not too happy about it. But after what I'm going through now, I'm not ready to be a guinea pig just yet. And since I have the latest version of Musescore installed, I'm thinking that if I decide to update my desktop to Windows 11 I'll be okay. NOTE: I've been using Musescore (and the latest version of course) on my (Windows 10) desktop for a long time. At the same time, I'm thinking (or at least hoping) that the newest version of Musescore WILL had some point become MS approved. I will provide an update after I find out more. And since the S Mode is significant when it comes to security in the MS world, I need to do more reading on this before I make that commitment to turn it off permanently just to get the newest version of Musescore at this time.Īnyway, that's where all this stands at the moment. That is, once you turn it off, that's it, you can't go back. ![]() ![]() UNFORTUNATELY, there is only one way to test my theory: I would have to turn off the S Mode feature on my new laptop, and I'm not sure if I'm ready to do that since this is a one-way street. So, even though I was grabbing the download for 3.6.2 from Musescore, somehow S Mode got involved and told me to talk a walk and installed (and KEEPS installing) the Microsoft-approved 3.3 version instead. That said, I think I've discovered the culprit: The notorious Microsoft S Mode! Apparently, they have put that back into Windows 11, hard and strong. Having said that - and with reference to your last statement above - actually, I think I discovered that in my particular case, yes, 3.3 version CAN be installed despite my having used the Musescore link (and not the Microsoft Store, which I've never used, as in ever) and despite the fact that I watched as the downloader downloaded the 3.6.2 version (trust me, I sat there STARRING at it) followed by an install only to end up with the 3.3 version instead. Trust me, I'm pretty computer savvy and I understand about starting from a clean state, doing uninstalls first, etc. I did all the things suggested by you and Jojo, but I still ended up with a failure. ![]()
