Java has the standard configuration to check for updates automatically. If higher version of Java is installed then the Java version that {{IMSMANG}} is using might get uninstalled. The environment variable JAVA_HOME will also get updated. It is possible to have both Java 7 and Java 8 installed. This page explains how to stop Java from automatically check for updates which will prevent users from installing a version that might affect {{IMSMANG}}.

The Java control panel is sometimes not easy to find. The ''Alternative method'' should work on all Windows versions.If the change does not seem to have effect i.e. you still get notification to update Java then may sure that you are making the change with '''Administrator''' permission. ==Step 1 - Start the Java control panel==__NOEDITSECTION__
