Have created a group policy to disable Java updates by setting the following registry values:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\JavaSoft\Java Update\Policy
EnableAutoUpdateCheck DWORD 0
NotifyDownload DWORD 0
EnableJavaUpdate DWORD 0
Delete SunJavaUpdateSched for the below:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
The group policies are applying successfully and the registry entries are also updated, however the Update Tab does not disappear from the Java Control Panel. It is Java Version 8. Any idea on this, how to make the update tab disappear? The check for updates automatically is still checked in the Java Control panel, will it still
check for updates on a periodic basis, anything else needs to be done to disable the Java updates from group policy?
