It’s mainly caused by scripts that don’t work well together or are blocked, but it can also be due to damaged system files or incorrect browser settings.
1. Install Java for Windows
The main reason for the issue is that Java is not installed on the computer. Many users have fixed the problem by installing the latest Java version. Note: Microsoft Edge does not support any plug-ins and doesn’t use Java. If you’re having this issue in Microsoft Edge, move on to the next solution since this won’t help you.
2. Disable Third-party Browser Extensions
When the machine uses third-party browser add-ons for Internet Explorer, it can create security risks and errors. Because of this, Microsoft decided to keep this option turned off by default in the latest Windows versions. Some users have found that the error message stopped appearing after they disabled any third-party browser add-ons in Internet Explorer.
3. Register the urlmon.dll File
Many users fixed the issue by re-registering the urlmon.dll file. This DLL is commonly used by Internet Explorer scripts.
4. Disable Script Error Notifications
If the issue persists, you can disable the error notifications to stop seeing the ‘An error has occurred in the script of this page’ message. This won’t actually fix the error but will hide the notification. Note: This is just a workaround, not a real solution. It won’t address any underlying problems causing functionality loss.
