3.4.1 (2340)
4 October 2026
A stability update that fixes several crashes some people hit when starting or updating MuseHub.
Fixed MuseHub failing to start on PCs without media playback support, such as Windows N editions without the Media Feature Pack. MuseHub now opens normally, with audio and video previews turned off.
If a product video can't play, you now see its cover image instead. The product gallery says "Media playback is not supported on this device".
Fixed a crash on startup that some PCs hit because of Windows notification components installed by other apps.
Fixed the installer closing unexpectedly while removing old versions of MuseHub on some PCs. The update now finishes.
Other stability improvements.

29 September 2026

If the background service MuseHub uses to stay up to date is broken, MuseHub now offers to repair it.

Fixed some apps that couldn't be uninstalled from MuseHub.
