Windows 10: I'm getting cannot find lau.vbs script file error

Several days ago, I found some "Edges update" tasks in task manager that used a lot of CPU and RAM space. After I found the file location of this task, I scanned it with Malwarebytes Free and Virustotal and both of them give positive result. So I quarantined and deleted it, after that I also did a full scan with Malwarebytes. Now I'm getting an error says "Can not find script file 'C:\ProgramData\Edges\bin\v2\lau.vbs'". It appears once every 5 minutes or so and just annoys me. I tried some fix methods for similar error related to .vbs file but none of them worked. I can't seem to find any info

:)

 

Cannot find script file 1.vbs

I keep on receiving a Windows script file error saying

Cannot find script file "C:\ProgramData\Windows\profile\1.vbs"

I have run a malware scan multiple times but i still keep on getting this error.

 

Cannot find script file 1.vbs

Hi,

Courtesy of DaveM121, an exit script can be used if Malwarebytes hasn't helped.

Right-click your Desktop and choose New - Text Document

Put this text in that file:

Wscript.Quit

Then click File - Save As

At the bottom of the save as dialog, set save as type to *.*

Save the files as 1.vbs

Note you must enter the vbs file extension yourself

Right click STart>Run.

Enter the following path and press OK.

C:\ProgramData\Windows\profile

Copy that file from your Desktop into that folder

 

Running a VB Script File Using Windows 10 Task Scheduler

You can invoke VB scripts through the Task Scheduler, same as batch files or .exe files. What problem do you actually have? What is the script you run? Is it supposed to be interactive?

There is little difference between cscript.exe and wscript.exe. When you run cscript.exe you will open a black Command Processor window (cmd.exe). With wscript.exe you won't. Furthermore, the instruction wscript.echo will do different things:

• Under cscript.exe: Write a line of text in the Command Processor window.
• Under wscript.exe: Generate message box.

This difference is important for scripts being invoked by the Task Scheduler.
