I have recently purchased a new laptop from an OEM with Windows 7 64-bit. This system came pre-installed with (among other stuff) the Java Runtime Environment (64bit). This has put the "jusched.exe" (Java update scheduler) process in my start-up processes. I want to disable this however, because I want to schedule the update process myself.
Now, on my other 32-bit system, this was simply a matter of going to the Control Panel, selecting Java, clicking the 'Update' tab, and there it could be disabled. However, there is no update tab on this 64-bit version of the Java config tool.
I have been trying a number of things so far to disable jusched:
- Running the config tool as admin: still no tab
- remove it from the start up folder: there was no entry for jusched
- trying to disable it from msconfig: again no entry for jusched
So, does anyone have any other suggestions (apart from uninstalling java)? Thanks!
Best Answer
Search for it in Administrative Tools / Task Scheduler.
You can also use Autoruns and search for "java" or "jusched" for any startup of any kind. The interface makes is easy to disable anything you don't like or re-enable it again.
