How to fix this windows script host error

Question

This error message always pops up whenever I start my PC. I don't know what the problem is nor why it's appearing—Realtek seems to be working just fine.

Answer 1

Thank yo for the screenshots, I do not see any Realtek process listed in there.

Open File Explorer, then go to tis folder:

C:\Users\Fangirl\AppData\Roaming\Realtek\Realtek

In that folder is there a file named RealtekUpdate.vbs?

if there is, right click that file and select Open With - Notepad

Delete the contents of that file and then paste this into that file:

Wscript.Quit

Save that file and restart your PC and the popup error should be gone.

Answer 2

This worked. Thank you so much for your help and fast replies.

May I ask why does that happen? I'm just curious.

Answer 3

That VBS file has nothing to do with Realtek, it is left over from malware that has been previously removed from your PC by Defender or your preferred anti-virus and it can no longer do any harm on your PC.
