Can't use the Nvdia Smart scan

[Yew]

I made a mistake by uninstalling the Nvdia files on my PC so I'm currently going here https://www.nvidia.com/Download/Scan.aspx?lang=en-us to reinstall them back. However I keep on getting this message(in the attached picture here) and the Smart scan that is supposed to run before installing the Nvdia files won't run at all no matter what I try. I've tried using Google Chrome,Mozilla Firefox,Internet Explorer and Opera but I still get the same message. (The NVIDIA Smart Scan requires the latest version of Java.Click on the 'Java' icon to install java ). How do I bypass all this and get the Smart scan to run?

If the smartscan requires Java to run, then it must be installed. Just follow the instructions. If something is Required, there is no way to skip it.

As Lunarlander has mentioned, you need to download Java, which can be found here.

I've already downloaded Java, uninstalled and reinstalled many times. I used different browsers like Google Chrome,Mozilla Firefox,Internet Explorer and Opera but they all failed to detect Java. The system "behaves" as if I had never downloaded Java at all.

Obviously, after downloading the Java exe. file, you then installed it by whatever method it suggested, usually by double clicking it?

There is a 'Retired' Java Tester website which is no longer maintained but does have a lot of information that may still be useful: https://javatester.org/index.htm

I suspect that the browser you use might have very little effect on what happens because modern versions may refuse to work with Oracle Java because of its serious security issues. Perhaps Internet Explorer may still work with it?

Java aplets are not supported by x64 bit browsers AND no longer supported by many x86 browsers.

You can get it working with 32bit firefox and 32bit Java runtime.

I think Internet Explorer may have a different installer. Try downloading the install from Internet Explorer (and not Edge) and see if it works because Java states IE is still compatible.

Never mind. My PC also has some other problems now so I'll bring it to a repair centre. Thanks for all your answers.
