Why Javaw.exe in windows-64x folder

Greetings, and welcome to the Xbox Community! Connect with players from around the world, get help when you need it, and share your gaming journey.

About your question, the legit javaw.exe file, which is used by Java apps like Minecraft, is usually located in one of these folders:

- C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.x.x_xx\bin\javaw.exe (for 64-bit Java)

- C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.x.x_xx\bin\javaw.exe (for 32-bit Java)

Sometimes, Minecraft uses its own built-in Java runtime, which is often found here:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Minecraft Launcher\runtime\jre-legacy\windows-x64\bin\javaw.exe

So I believe that's the one you are looking at, if that's the case it's pretty much normal.

Hi there Death welcome to the community forum! Christopher here, an Xbox fan and been on Xbox for years already. I would really love to make your day by helping you out. If Minecraft is not allowed in Firewall, the LAN not working issue can happen. You can check the Firewall settings and ensure the Minecraft executable file “javaw.exe” is allowed in Firewall.

First, navigate to Control Panel -> Windows Defender Firewall -> Allow an app for feature through Windows Defender Firewall.

Then see if the “javaw.exe” is checked. If it’s not checked, click the Change settings button then check the box next to “javaw.exe”. If you see more than one “javaw.exe” entries, check all of them. Also ensure the Private box and the Public box are checked.
