Do you want to update Java Manually, however the update tab is missing from the Java Control Panel? Don't worry, in this article we will show you two methods for how to access the control panel.

5. In the Java Control Panel, click on "General." 6. The first, or "About," line will allow you to view version information about Java. 7. Click on the "About…" button in that first line.

Click OK in Java Control Panel to confirm the changes. Now run the Java program embedded in a web browser (applet) to verify if the latest version of Java is installed in your computer.

As soon as you close the control panel, the update alert feature switches back on. You can successfully turn off the updates by launching the Java control panel as an administrator.
