- Microsoft blog post, “In October 2023, we announced our commitment to providing the best and most efficient experiences by gradually deprecating VBScript. Beginning with the new OS release slated for later this year, VBScript will be available as features on demand (FODs). The feature will be completely retired from future Windows OS releases, as we transition to the more efficient PowerShell experiences.”
Visual Basic Scripting Edition, or VBScript, has been a scripting language and automation tool for Windows since it was introduced in 1996. Microsoft has now confirmed VBScript will be made optional in Windows 11 in 2024, before its eventual removal. Microsoft says it plans to disable VBScript by default “around 2027.”
