[QUOTE="TairikuOkami, post: 859401, member: 61892"] Some software still uses it, but new ones use powershell, NET Framework and such. Windows updates work fine, but not not sure about store apps, they should use UWP. Windows upgrade also performs normally without WSH, but when I tested 3rd party backup software, it used it for tasks. [URL unfurl="true"]https://blog.avast.com/a-closer-look-at-the-locky-ransomware[/URL] [ATTACH type="full"]233624[/ATTACH] WSH is usually the way malware enters the system, without user's interaction. I rarely need it, mostly for some user generated stuff/scripts, like for games. When it is needed a user should be notified, either via an error or directly. [/QUOTE]
