MicrosoftLooks like Microsoft is on the road to making Windows a useless operating system. When you take away the ability to run software you take away the ability to use Windows 11 as your operating system. Is the plan to make it that Windows will only be able to run Microsoft owned and issued programs? Windows 11 is a very poor operating system to begin with, but being in the medical community I have always had to use Windows because many medical programs only run under Windows. I am disgusted by how WIN 11 deletes files instead of moving them (with no warning) and how it takes forever to get something done because it is too busy playing with itself (doesn't have time to do what the computer operator is trying to do). Now it won't be able to run programs either unless the computer operator is a well versed in computer programs and applications, and can make all the work arounds function. WOW!! The only reason I had to come to this web page was because of a program that will no longer be able to function when this VBScript is totally deleted (which it appears from a different Microsoft web page that is has been as of 11/2025 though this page acts like it hasn't been). I am not a computer "geek". I don't know what PowerShell is or how to run it. It looks like we may have to return to using paper (or every one who needs to be able to use a computer in their line of work will be required to get a computer science degree, too). This situation is untenable (not able to be maintained or defended against attack or objection).
I agree with you VBscript is much faster at alot of things and MS doesn't understand if you are using vbscript to leverage the computer to do work downloading python is a fireable offense, even using powershell as a non admin is too. Power Automate is too expensive and low functionality to use. VBScript has been able to be made then send off to another user and it just works, nothing needs to change.
