How does java auto update from java 7 to java 8?


Asked by Keyla Gilbert on Dec 06, 2021 Java



The Java auto-update process updates the latest version of Java on a user’s Windows and OS X machine. During the automatic update from JRE 7 to JRE 8, if a user only has one version of Java 7 the auto-update process will replace that JRE 7 with the latest version of JRE 8 leaving only JRE 8 in the system.
Next,
Oracle started auto-updating Windows 32-bit and OS X, Java Runtime Environment (JRE) users from JRE 7 to JRE 8 in January 20, 2015. The Java auto-update mechanism is designed to keep Java users up-to-date with the latest security fixes.
Likewise, During the automatic update from JRE 6 to JRE 7, if a user only has one version of Java 6 the auto-update process will replace that JRE 6 with the latest version of JRE 7 leaving only JRE 7 in the system. What happens if I have more than one JRE version already installed on my system?
In fact,
For example, a 32-bit version of Java 7 installed on a 64-bit version of Windows will have it in: Once you've found the file, right-click it and select "Run as administrator". From there, un-check "Check for Updates Automatically" on the Update tab and click OK.
In respect to this,
Starting with Windows Vista and later versions, when you restart your system, the Windows process jucheck.exe (also known as Java Auto Updater ), is initiated and attempts to check for the latest Java version. The Windows User Account Control (UAC) prompts you to allow this process to run.
