Hello there,

I have installed a new Antivirus on my PC and after the required restart of the PC this error appeared on my desktop. I click the OK button and everything seems like to work like usually. Now I don’t know what it means or if I should be worried about. Can anyone help me please to fix this error ?

Thank you !

Windows Script host error finding files

Hello,

Well as you have already installed an anti virus, I don't think you need to worry from this , still you can try doing this,

Go to Start>>Run>>Regedit

Find this key: 

HKEY_ LOCAL_ MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWin dows NTCurrentVersionWinlogon

double click on the "userinit" , which you can find on right-side pane. Edit its valu to,

c:windowssystem32userinit.exe.

by performing this action, you will stop the wscript.exe from loading . Complete this by restarting computer.

One more option you can try is if you want you can stop this execution by barring Windows Script Host ,  from running any scripit (VBS or JS) in the system. For this purpose you need to follow this steps:

  • Create a registry entry, and set its value  to  "0". (REG_DWORD). If you want it to happen just for any particular user, create this

HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindows Script HostSettingsEnabled

​This will disable the Window Script Host from further running.
