Windows 10: JAVA installs, but with no install window / Update tab missing as well

Hello all.

I have a strange problem and I have searched high and low for the answer to no avail.

I have a windows 10 (latest updates) system that I have Java installed on. It is working with only two problems. When it updates, I don't see an install window. I have uninstalled, used JavRa, CCleaner, sfc /scannow, deleted task scheduler entries (justshc.exe), etc. to try to fix it.

Even on a clean install of Java (all registry keys removed as well, not a windows clean install) it still installs silently. Apparently it is an option to do this, but I do not recall turning it on. I would assume it would be per install via a command line or network administrator anyways. I have never installed it that way.

Also, (I think they are related) I loose the update tab in the control panel with each update. Its not a big deal as a simple change to a registry key brings back the update tab.

I need java because my router still uses it for it's configuration page. I also used it back in the day for the now defunct website, pingtest.net.

Any ideas as to why this is happening?

Cannot Open .jar Files on windows 10

This is for .jar files if you are using it on Minecraft (PC). But I'm not sure if this works on other things as well.

1. Install Java Runtime Enviorment SE

2. Download the .jar file

3. Find the open tab on the file explorer and click the drop down box.

4. Click Java Platform SE Binary

5. A new tab will pop up with the java logo on it (it's ok and do whatever to install the mod).

 

Windows 10 Java issue

I recently did a fresh install of Windows 10. I downloaded and installed java. It appears in the control panel but clicking 'OPEN' does nothing. The java.com website asks me to "enable" the java addon and it appears in the "manage Add-ons" tab of IE 11;
however, it never actually fires the JVM.

Also, an additional program that uses JAVA is unable to start, although it detects that JAVA is installed, because JAVA never starts.

I have a clean install of Windows with JAVA installed and the program mentioned above. No antivirus. At this I have installed firefox and slimjet browsers. There is nothing else install on the machine. I have installed from the web install, installed from
the downloaded version, installed the 32bit and the 64 bit versions. All behave the same way.

Please help
