Windows 10: JAVA update

So I juste updated Java, last time was in 2016 because I don't like updates and for a reason. I had trouble viewing a presentation on a online course via adobe connect (which uses flash player and I thought Java update could help) and now I lost about 400gb of installed apps on my machine...


All the games are deleted and more... Steam, Epic Game Launcher, Blizzard, Even Solidworks, Catia and Matlab are deleted...


These apps were all on a secondary HDD that has nothing to do with the Windows Files... how is this even possible?


Last time I ever do any update related to windows/java or anything else that is supposed to "help" the machine runs better.

Java 8, IE 11.11, Windows 10 - Java won't verify. Java control panel won't open.

Hi,

Have you downloaded the latest Java version? Let's try to eliminate software conflicts by performing a clean boot. We suggest that you try accessing Java Control Panel in a clean boot environment and see if it makes any difference. If you are able to access
Java Control Panel in a clean boot environment, the issue might be caused by application or service interferences. You may refer to this

Microsoft article for more information. Follow the steps provided in the article on how to determine what is causing the problem by performing a clean boot.

We also suggest that you start your PC in safe mode with networking, then try to verify Java in Internet Explorer. To start your PC is safe mode with networking, follow these steps:

• Click on the Start button, then select Settings .
  
• Select Update & security > Recovery .
  
• Under Advanced startup, select Restart now.
  
• After your PC restarts to the Choose an option screen, select
  Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Startup Settings >
  Restart.

  Safe Mode with Networking.
