Windows 10: Java files

I've been trying to install resource packs and shaders for Minecraft on Java but everytime I try to download the file, it makes me choose an app or browser that runs the .jar file without installing it. Is there a way to fix because I have been looking everywhere and I cannot find anything.

Java .jar file is not downloaded as a java file.

"Reinstall or update Java Runtime Environment

If you can’t run jar files on your Windows 10 PC, you might need to reinstall Java Runtime Environment. To do that, follow these steps:

Press Windows Key + I to open the Settings app.

When the Settings app opens, go to the System section. Now, choose Apps & features from the left pane.

Locate Java from the list and choose the Uninstall option.

After doing that, navigate to Java’s website and download the latest version of the software. Once installed, check if the problem is resolved. Keep in mind that it’s not mandatory that you remove your previous Java installation, so you can skip that step and
just install the latest version on top.

Java will also automatically check for updates, and if updates are available you’ll get a notification. To update Java, simply click the notification and choose the Update option. Now follow the instructions to complete the update"

if you know the manual then you know you dont put the code in the program, you convert all of your java class files into a jar file using their compiler.

 

Unable to save .java file

Hi,

Welcome to Microsoft Community. Your interest in Windows 10 is much appreciated.

Is the issue specific to Java files?

Method 1: Disable your anti-virus software

I would suggest you to temporarily disable the antivirus and then check for the issue.

Note: Running the computer without firewall or the anti-virus software is a potential threat to the computer; make sure to enable the security software after completing the troubleshooting steps and after identifying the issue.

Method 2: Test the issue on a new user account

Follow the steps below:

• In search type User Account.
• Select manage another account.
• Select Add a new user in this PC account.
• Click on Add someone else to this PC and follow the onscreen instructions.
