In early 2017, we began the process of
disabling VBScript in Internet Explorer 11 to give the world the opportunity to prepare for it to be disabled by default.
The change to disable VBScript will take effect in the upcoming cumulative updates for Windows 7, 8, and 8.1 on August 13th, 2019. VBScript will be disabled by default for Internet Explorer 11 and WebOCs for Internet and Untrusted zones on all platforms running Internet Explorer 11. This change is effective for Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 10 as of the July 9th, 2019 cumulative updates.
The settings to enable or disable for VBScript execution in Internet Explorer 11 will remain
configurable per site security zone, via Registry, or via Group Policy, should you still need to utilize this legacy scripting language.
To provide feedback on this change, or to report any issues resulting from this change, you can use the Feedback Hub app on any Windows 10 device. Your feedback goes directly to our engineers to help make Windows even better.
