Hi Ramraad1 -

This is Orlando, an Independent advisor and an expert with Windows 10. I understand that Windows Host Script error always popping up on your computer.

This behavior is usually associated with virus infection on PC. Best course of action to do is to run an anti-malware scan on your computer using either this link:

(System Restore Disclaimer:

Though system restore will not affect any personal files on your computer there are some rare instances wherein personal files might be removed or deleted while system restore perform its operation so it is advisable to backup your data on an external media just to make sure that your files will be safe.)

or perform a Windows Defender Offline Scanner by following the instruction the link below:

If the issue is not resolve on your computer, here's the next step.

1. Open the run box and type the following command below and hit enter

C:/Users/ramra\AppData\Roaming\

2. Once inside the folder, open a notepad or text document and type the following

WScript.Quit

3. Save the text document inside the same folder that you open and save it as remove.vbs.

A script host should appear inside the folder which is the file that you created.

Restart your computer and the annoyance should be gone.

Hope this helps, have a good day
