Beginning in the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, we intend to disable VBScript execution in IE 11 for websites in the Internet Zone and the Restricted Sites Zone by default, to provide a more secure experience. This change was initially announced in a blog post in April. The new default behavior can be previewed beginning with today’s Windows Insider Preview release, build 16237.
For customers on previous versions of Windows, we intend to include this change in future cumulative security updates for Internet Explorer 11.The settings to enable, disable, or prompt for VBScript execution in Internet Explorer 11 will remain configurable per site security zone, via Registry, or via Group Policy, on released versions of Windows. We will continue to post updates here in advance of these changes to default settings for VBScript execution in Internet Explorer 11.
To provide feedback on this change, or to report any issues resulting from this change in Windows Insider Preview, you can use the Feedback Hub app on any Windows 10 device. Your feedback goes directly to our engineers to help make Windows even better.
