The official fix, per Sun, would be to create a new DWORD value called EnableAutoUpdateCheck, and set it to 0. To disable updates, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWow6432NodeJavaSoftJava UpdatePolicy This is known as 64-bit registry redirection. This is similar to the automatic system controlled c:WindowsSysWOW64 directory for 32-bit compatiblity. There is a subkey located at HKLMSoftwareWow6432Node that contains the relevant settings for 32-bit applications, and within here, is the expected JavaSoft registry key. Since the operating system is 64-bit, many of the registry keys seemed absent under HKLMSoftware. I finally tracked it down using the Autoruns tool from SysInternals. No users can actually install the available updates, nor can they disable the update check via the Control Panel.Īfter checking the usual candidates for auto runs, I was a little stumped. No daily users have administrative privileges, but all users are prompted to install updates. On a recently setup Windows Server 2008 R2 terminal server, Java was installed, and by default the JRE will enable automatic updates for all users.
