If you receive this Windows Script Host access is disabled on this machine, Contact your administrator for
details message box, on your Windows 10/8/7 computer, then this post may interest you. Today we will see how you
can enable or disable Windows Script Host.

Windows Script Host access is disabled on this machine

Windows Script Host or WSH, is a Microsoft technology that provides scripting abilities like batch files, but includes
many more features. Such Scripts can be run directly from the desktop by doubleclicking a script file, or from a
command prompt. It can be run from either the protectedmode Windowsbased host wscript.exe, or the realmode
command shellbased host cscript.exe.

Several HTML malware have been reported to use WSH objects as a result of which, those who do not require this
feature, tend to disable it. But disabling WSH, will prevent users from running any scripts, including VBScript and
JScript scripts, that rely on this technology and some software may require this feature to be enabled.
