How to Fix Script Error caused by Amazon Assistant

Script errors are messages originating from the debugging of various programming language scripts, with the most common ones being JavaScript errors. Although most of the time script errors appear while trying to load a page, there are occasions when software running in the background tries to access a domain, ports, or protocols, causing these errors to appear.

Script errors are commonly caused by missing libraries or misconfiguration in Internet Explorer, the main browser of the operating system (scripts will generally run with IE if they are executed automatically). If you receive a script error with your browser closed, pointing to an Amazon website or file with the .js extension, you are likely dealing with a JavaScript error.
