Seeing a 'Windows Script Host' error pop up unexpectedly? Don't panic! It's a common issue that can often be resolved with a few simple steps. This error usually indicates a problem with how your system is processing scripts, potentially due to corrupted files, incorrect registry settings, or even malware.
First, try running a system file check (SFC) to repair any damaged system files. Open Command Prompt as an administrator and type `sfc /scannow` then press Enter. Let it complete the scan and repair process.
If the SFC doesn't work, consider checking your registry for any invalid or corrupted entries related to Windows Script Host. Exercise caution when editing the registry, as incorrect modifications can cause system instability. We recommend consulting a detailed guide or seeking expert help if you're uncomfortable editing the registry. Finally, run a thorough scan with a reputable antivirus and anti-malware program to rule out any malicious software interfering with your scripts. Often, these steps will resolve the problem and get your system back on track!
