Force a java update

Motivation
When logged in as a standard user, the java autoupdate fails to download required files.

Solution
Manually run the java autoupdate as follows:
  1. Log in as administrator
  2. Open a command prompt and execute:
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Java\Java Update\jucheck.exe -auto

    The correct command is actually -force instead of auto.

    It could also be in: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Java\Java Update

    Thanks for putting the path. Most comments about jucheck are, sadly, paranoid. I had updated java on another computer, but didn't want to wait for this one to run jshedule.

    the correct command is jucheck.exe -ato this does a silent install of the most current java version and uninstalls older versions. Works in Java 7 and up from my testing.
