Suggest you to execute below mentioned troubleshooting steps and see if they sort out the issue.

Method 1:

Run the DISM tool

Use the Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) tool to fix any issues with the system image files. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Press Windows logo key + X, select Command Prompt(Admin).
  2. Run the 'DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth' command by copy/pasting it into the Command prompt(Admin) and hit Enter key
  3. Once it complete, try to install updates again to see if they work correctly.

Important:When you run this command, DISM uses Windows Update to provide the files that are required to fix corruptions. However, if your Windows Update client is already broken, use a running Windows installation as the repair source, or use a Windows side-by-side folder from a network share or from a removable media, such as the Windows DVD, as the source of the files. To do this, run the following command instead:

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:C:RepairSourceWindows /LimitAccess

Note: Replace the C:RepairSourceWindows placeholder with the location of your repair source. For more information about using the DISM tool to repair Windows, reference Repair a Windows Image.

To learn more about this tool, see Fix Windows corruption errors by using the DISM or System Update Readiness tool.

Method 2:

If an app or update that you recently installed caused problems with your PC, you can restore Windows back to an earlier point in time, called a restore point. System Restore doesn’t change your personal files, but it might remove recently installed apps and drivers.

This option takes your PC back to an earlier point in time, called a system restore point. Restore points are generated when you install a new app, driver, or Windows update, and when you create a restore point manually. Restoring won’t affect your personal files, but it will remove apps, drivers, and updates installed after the restore point was made.

  1. Right-click (or press and hold) the Start button, and then select Control Panel.

  2. Search Control Panel for Recovery.

  3. Select Recovery > Open System Restore > Next.

  4. Choose the restore point related to the problematic app, driver, or update, and then select Next > Finish.

Note

  • If you’re not seeing any restore points, it might be because system protection isn’t turned on. To check, go to the Control Panel, search for Recovery, and then select Recovery > Configure System Restore > Configure and make sure Turn on system protection is selected.

Windows Script Host error on Windows 10 startup

We will be taking a look at the following fixes to get rid of the Windows Script Host errors on Windows 10,

  1. Use System File Checker.

1] Use System File Checker

Windows

Restart your system after the scan is completed.

2] Scan computer for malware

One of the reasons why people get this issue is because of malware. If your computer is infected by malware, you may see a Can not find script file message box appear. Scan your computer with your antivirus software. You may also use a second opinion malware scanner.

Even though most of us may have antivirus software installed on our Windows computer, there may be times of doubt, where you might want a second opinion. While one can always visit online antivirus scanners from well-known security software to scan one’s PC, some prefer to have a standalone on-demand antivirus scanner installed locally. At such times you may use these on-demand antivirus scanners.

Run the scan at Boot time or in Safe Mode for best results.

3] Set the default value for the .vbs key

Hit the WIN+R button combination to launch the Run utility, type in regedit and hit Enter. Once Registry Editor opens, navigate to the following key-

ComputerHKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.vbs

Double-click on the (Default) string and change its Value data to VBSFile.

4] Troubleshoot in Clean Boot State

A Clean Boot is used to diagnose and later troubleshoot issues with your system. During a Clean Boot, we start the system with a minimal number of drivers and startup programs which helps isolate the cause with interfering software. Once you have booted in the Clean Boot State, check if the problem persists.

  • If it does not then there is some third-party process interfering with its proper functioning. Enable one process after another and see which process makes the problem appear. Thus you can find the offender.
  • If the problem does not disappear, then you may need to use the Reset This PC option.

5] Repair Install Windows 10
