Read about it here:

https://www.theregister.com/2023/10/10/microsoft_says_vbscript_will_be/
or
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/1387782/will-vbscript-be-deprecated-on-windows-server

Note that for now it affects only client not server platforms.  Doesn't appear to include VB for Applications (VBA)
They want everyone to migrate to PowerShell scripts.
