Script error on Windows 10 startup

Hello, recently I've been getting a popup every time I start my laptop with windows 10 

Initially, when I started up my laptop, I saw a black screen pop up for a split second. It only happened once. 

Now, every time my computer tries to open up the Microsoft one drive login page (which I never have used) a popup occurs over it saying that there was a script failure. It then provides this address: https://auth.gfx.ms/16.000.27650.1/ConvergedLogin\_PCore.js

I haven't downloaded anything lately, and ive done full scans with both malwarebytes (free version) and Norton power eraser and found nothing. 

Is this a virus? Should I be worried? 

Thanks.

    Hi,

    A script error means there's been a problem with the code the browser it's trying to run. This is normally the fault of a website (if it happens on one site only). However, if you want to ensure that your device is free from threats. We suggest you download the Microsoft Safety Scanner from this link. It is a free downloadable security tool that provides on-demand scanning and helps remove viruses, spyware, and other malicious software. It works with your existing antivirus software.

    If you require any further information, feel free to let us know.

    Regards.

    UPDATE: I reset my internet settings on internet explorer and it stopped happening. Does this mean I have no threat of a virus/malware?
