Don't know how to get rid of a script error that appears every 5-10 minutes.

Question

This script error appears every 5-10 minutes accompanied with a white background. I have to click 'Yes' or "No' and then exit out of the white screen. Very annoying. How do I get rid of this?

Answer 2

Thanks for the response. Unfortunately, this did not fix the issue. Oddly enough, the 'Display a notification about every script error' box was already un-checked.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks again.

Hi Thai J,

Sabya here, Independent Windows Adviser. Hope you are doing well.

Are you facing the issue on a browser or any application?

If it is a browser, then is it any particular website where you are facing the issue?

Also did you check on another browser?

If it is an application, did you reinstall the application?

Answer 4

Hello.

That is what is odd and has me confused. I am not sure what app/browser it is coming from. I will get it when I am just sitting at the Desktop with no apps running or browser open as far as I know. I think it may be something running in the background that I am not aware of. It will also only appear if the computer is sitting dormant with no keystrokes or mouse movements for 5-10 minutes. It will not occur if a video (like YouTube or a streaming service) is running or I am actively typing.

Thanks,

Thai

Hi Thai,

Can you try ProcExp to find the process's command-line? Check out this page for more info. I think it's an iexplore.exe process, but we need to find what triggered it and what is its parent process.
