how to fix windows script host error

Hi,

My name is Angel. I am an Independent Advisor. Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

I would suggest you to follow these Methods:

Method 1: Run the SFC.

Follow the below steps:

1. Open Command Prompt.

2. Select “Run as Administrator”.

3. Type “sfc /scannow” without quotes and hit Enter.

Now check for the issue.

Method 2: Run the DISM Tool.

If the issue persists, I would have you run the DISM tool to check the system health and will try to restore the files.

1. Click on 'Start'.

2. Enter 'Command prompt' in the Search box.  

3. In the list of results, swipe down on or right-click Command prompt, and then tap or click 'Run as administrator'. 

4. In the Administrator: Command Prompt window, type the following commands. Press the Enter key after each command:

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

To close the Administrator: Command Prompt window, type Exit, and then press Enter.

Note: The tool might take 15-20 minutes to finish running, so please do not cancel it.

Method 3:

Type the following in a Windows PowerShell as Administrator:

1.Launch PowerShell

2.Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted

3.Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

Restart your device.

Hope the information provided is useful. If the issue persists, reply here and we will be glad to help you.
