Microsoft has announced that it will abandon the VBScript scripting language and will remove it in future Windows versions.

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen Alejandro86 for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com, October 11, according to Microsoft's official documentation page, the old VBScript scripting language will be removed from future versions of Windows, and VBScript was officially deprecated on October 10.

VBScript is the abbreviation of Visual Basic Script and is sometimes abbreviated to VBS. VBScript is a scripting language developed by Microsoft and can be seen as a simplified version of the VB language, released in 1996.

VBScript can be used to automate repetitive Windows operating system tasks. In the Windows operating system, VBScript can run within the scope of Windows Script Host. But with the emergence of tools such as PowerShell, it has been gradually replaced.

In addition, VBScript may become a route for the spread of malware to some extent. However, there are still some cases in which VBScript is used, especially in Microsoft proprietary environments. However, the demise of VBScript also means that tools and applications that depend on it will no longer be supported.

CTOnews.com found that Microsoft documentation also states that VBScript is currently available as an on-demand feature and will then be deactivated in future Windows versions.
