Encountering a 'Windows Script Host' error can be frustrating. It usually pops up when trying to run scripts like .VBS or .JS files. But don't panic! It's often a straightforward fix.
First, **check your antivirus**. Sometimes, overly aggressive security software can block legitimate scripts. Temporarily disable it (at your own risk!) to see if that's the culprit.
Next, **ensure Windows Script Host is enabled**. Press Win + R, type 'regedit', and press Enter. Navigate to `HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Script Host\Settings`. Look for 'Enabled'. If it's not there, right-click, New > String Value, and name it 'Enabled'. Double-click it and set the value to '1'. If it *is* there and set to '0', change it to '1'.
If the problem persists, **consider a system restore** to a point before the errors started. If all else fails, searching for the specific error code displayed with the 'Windows Script Host' error can provide more targeted solutions online. Good luck!
