Microsoft announced today that it will start deprecating VBScript in the second half of 2024 by making it an on-demand feature until it's completely removed.
Features on Demand (FODs) are optional Windows features (e.g., .NET Framework (.NetFx3), Hyper-V, Windows Subsystem for Linux) that aren't installed by default but can be added if needed.

"Technology has advanced over the years, giving rise to more powerful and versatile scripting languages such as JavaScript and PowerShell. These languages offer broader capabilities and are better suited for modern web development and automation tasks," said Microsoft program manager Naveen Shankar.
"Beginning with the new OS release slated for later this year, VBScript will be available as features on demand (FODs). The feature will be completely retired from future Windows OS releases, as we transition to the more efficient PowerShell experiences," said Microsoft program manager Naveen Shankar.
