Has anyone else had this? I have some scores where I've used 'Hide empty staves' and a couple of times when I've tried to Ctrl/y to roll back Sib2019 has crashed and has crashed Windows 10. Today I was working on a perfectly ordinary score and when I tried to close Sibelius a strange form of the Quick Start window came up and then Sib crashed bringing Windows 10 down with it.

Best to ask this on the official Sibelius chat pages. Haven't seen any reports of issues with 2019 and W10 as you're describing them. Probably something to do with your W10 system. Audio or video driver issues, perhaps?

But someone on there is sure to know and Avid do monitor the pages as well. This unofficial forum is a quiet backwater these days!
