Not sure who to ask first, Java, Windows or Universal Devices. I chose to start here.
I updated Java to V8u371 on my Windows 11 machine. Installation was successful. Now I get the following error when trying to run start.jnlp.
When I click on 'Details' I get,
which has the following text in the text box,

This error appears on my laptop and desktop. Both are running Windows 11 Pro 22H2. Both start.jnlp and admin.jnlp produce the same error message. Everything was working prior to the Java update. I have rebooted computers, reloaded Java, deleted everything from Java including the applet. I downloaded and installed fresh applet from forum, and still, same error.
One weird thing is that when I use the 'Java Uninstall Tool' it says that Java is not installed on this machine, even though I have both 32 and 64 bit versions installed.
Maybe it is time for Universal Devices to implement an embedded web server.... just saying.
Thank you in advance for any and all help and guidance.
