This isn't a KiXtart issue, it is a security change in Windows.

[MSHTA inline scripts] After installing this update, inline scripts passed directly to MSHTA.exe will no longer run and fail silently with no error code. This behavior is intentional; inline script execution was identified as a security vulnerability and was blocked as part of a planned security hardening change. Execution of .hta files that contain script within their HTML code continues to work as expected. Apps using inline scripts must shift to supported alternatives, such as invoking an .hta file or loading script from an external file.
