To fix the Scripted Diagnostics Native Host has stopped working error in Windows 11/10, follow these solutions:
- Use Reliability Monitor

Before proceeding, we suggest you restart your computer once. At times, a simple restart solves problems.
1] Use Reliability Monitor
Reliability Monitor doesn’t fix the problem directly but helps you see the issues with apps and other programs. For example, you can see what has stopped working recently, which app has crashed, etc. Following that, you can work on that program directly. You can use the View all problem reports option. It displays everything mentioned above.
2] Uninstall or Update drivers
As this problem sometimes occurs due to a faulty driver, we suggest you reinstall the respective driver. If you recently installed any Driver update, try to uninstall it and see. When you roll back the driver, it will uninstall the most recently updated driver and roll back your configuration to the earlier version. You may need to roll back a driver if your device fails after updating the driver.
Alternatively, update all your drivers and see if it helps. You may head to the hardware manufacturer’s official website to download the driver’s latest version and install it.
