How to Install Java Control Panel in Windows 10

Techie Bear

The Java control panel is in the Windows Control Panel, Java applet. You have the path incorrect - note the space between "Files" and "(x86)"! [C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin\javacpl.exe]. If you still can't find it, try uninstalling then reinstalling the Java application.

Also, if you have 64 Bit Windows, you might also have Java 64 Bit (I have both on my machines).

Thanks Bear Pup for your help. I tried what you said, but it didn't solve my problem. I still get the same message that windows cannot find c:program files(x86)\java\jre7\bin\javacpl.exe).  Java control panel is still missing.  Thanks anyway, I appreciate your help.  Charles Roberts

Sorry that didn't work for you. Have you tried to find Java manually by searching in Explorer for "Java" at the "C:\ " level, e.g.,  open Explorer, click on your C:\ drive and entering "Java" in the search dialog box? It seems that you must have loaded it in a different folder than Program Files (x86)\Java. Hope you have better luck taking this approach.

Is there a program ANY WHERE that will replace Java?  I have nothing but problems with it ... I thot it was an Oracle problem but did Microsoft purchase it.  My problem is that I'm OLD and cannot concentrate on a billion instructions, especially not as confusing as the instructions for Java AND it would help if the java updates would work ... everything on my computer works flawlessly, except Java.  I'll pay someone to get it out of my computer and install a program that WORKS ... plus Java is full of bugs ... and the updates don;t work so it is destroying my security.  Help Mr. Wizard please make EVIL MICROSOFT go away and bring NICE Microsoft, back when it worked ...

Hello,

I rather doubt there is a program to replace Java - with all its reported problems, one would think that a comparable program would have surfaced by now. As you are having an issue with Java, have you tried running your computer without Java?

It may be that your programs don't actually need Java to run! Or at least don't need Java to run with your browser. If you want to try it, try running your browser with all add-ons disabled, if it works....

Also, trying running your computer with your computer's add-ons disabled, again, if it works....Some people have good luck with that approach.

Hope this has been helpful,

Regards,

Techie Bear

I just re-downloaded Java with (Why doesm't cut and paste work here???)   jre-8u91-windows-x64.exe.  Ican get to the Java Control Panel, but there is NO UPDATE TAB, which all of these crazy %3&$!!%#$ Java-Windows instructions refer to.

If Java is necessary for program writing (as I understand it), WHY IS THERE SO MUCH ANTI-JAVA **** on Microsoft??
