Finale v25, Windows 10.
I cannot select the measure from which to start playback, because that part of the playback tool is grayed out. I have seen comments on the internet about the same thing happening with earlier versions of Finale.

This is my own personal copy of Finale. I teach music theory in an Arts Magnet High School, which uses iMac computers. This issue does not happen with those machines. Is it a known Windows - specific issue?

Are there any workarounds? Is this being addressed by any version change?

In Playback Settings, you need to select "Always start at current counter setting" for that to become ungrayed. Click the Settings icon on the Playback Controls. (Also, you might want to try "Leftmost measure [of the display]" instead--no number to type.)

Thank you, motet. That was so simple.
