Description
Your idea
Currently, when you click "update", you have to wait for the download to finish and musescore to update until you can do work. This process can be done async in the background (similar to how Chrome updates itself) to minimize disruption to the workflow, especially if the user have a slow internet connection.
Problem to be solved
Not able to use musescore while downloading updates
