[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 770712, member: 32260"] OSArmor thread was a good source for that - users posted several blocked events. There is some software that can require Windows Script Host scripts, for example: Intel(r) Energy Checker SDK, FreeDownloadManager, etc. Some printers require mshta.exe like HP Officejet Pro 6830. There are also near 1000 VBScript and over 700 JScript scripts in the Windows folder (but many duplicates for different resources). Who knows for what. Probably, some of them can be used sometimes for Windows troubleshooting. The safest way is to block them only by extension when the user tries to execute them, or block script execution only as standard user. Edit. Anyway, my wife has completely blocked execution of Windows Script Host scripts (for 2 years) and no problems with Windows 10. [/QUOTE]
