Windows 10: mshta jscript9 error

Just bought new HP all in one with Windows 10. Working fine until it did an OS update. Now I get mshta jscript9 error on startup. Windows Search functionality not working either. Who knows what else isn't. Online searches just kick back complex fixes meant for computer techs, not regular people like me. I've uninstalled all added programs Firefox, Dashlane, NordVPN but to no avail. Is there a simple fix for this? I had a Mac for 10 years and not a single OS problem. I have this PC 48 hours and it's corrupted. What garbage.

System32 cmd (mshta)

Hi Mason, are you getting a Command Prompt window popping up with an mshta message showing?

What is mshta used for in windows 10 exactly?

 

Error: No work available to process

Hmm. Either it's put out errors and WCG is limiting the work units available, or the project list may not be set to supply other WU when one runs out. (if the problem lies here and not on your end)

On the options to your left, if you go into Results Status, select the computer from Device Name and then look through results see if either they were returned late, errors or any other kind of issue that would stop the servers supplying WU from that perspective.

If there are no errors then it's maybe down to your project list. So selecting Device Manager from the left menu and then clicking on the profile assigned to that computer and make sure that it's assigned to receive WU for other projects if they run out.

At least those steps will rule out problems from the WCG end.
