Bug description

When closing MuseScore 4, for some reason, the process is still there.
image
Currently, I don't have MuseScore open, but all the processes from the previous times I've launched it are still there (since I last rebooted). They aren't really doing much, but still.
A bigger issue is the fact that when attempting to end the task, it doesn't work. When doing it through Task Manager, it just silently fails, but when doing it through Process Explorer, it says "Error terminating process: Access is denied."

Steps to reproduce

Open MuseScore 4
Close MuseScore 4
Check Task Manager or another app with similar functionality
