The supposed Java update which pops up monthly has never worked for me. The update always fails. Reason? The updater only works if you are running as an Administrator, and of course I run as a Local User by default. So the updater fails. At some point, you give up on the shenanigans and just want to make the popup go away. So Java stays outdated until you go well out of your way to update it.
