How to Update Java

These are the basic steps. You may need to modify this procedure for your own situation.

:!: On Windows-based thinclients, you must disable → update → re-enable the storage write filter or your updates will not survive a reboot.

This example procedure was done on an Atrust Windows-based terminal with Windows 7 Embedded, so we added a couple of steps to disable the write filter protecting its storage. If you use a different thinclient, please adjust.

Run Atrust Client Setup

Write Filter Disabled Write Filter Enabled

  1. Log into the workstation as an administrator
  2. (ThinClient) Disable the storage write filter
    1. (Atrust) Start → Atrust Client Setup → System → FBWF
    2. Disable the write filter
    3. Reboot the thinclient
  3. Log back into the workstation as an administrator
  4. Update Java
    1. Control Panel → Java → Update (tab)
    2. De-select (uncheck) Check for updates automatically
    3. Click Apply
    4. Click Update Now to begin
    5. Confirm Do Not Check
    6. De-select (uncheck) Restore Security Prompts
  5. (ThinClient) Re-enable the storage write filter
    1. (Atrust) Start → Atrust Client Setup → System → FBWF
    2. Enable the write filter
    3. Reboot the thinclient
