Since May 9, after a windows 10 update, on IE11 11.0.40, JNLP files wont launch from IE, but in a computer with IE version 11.0.34 it work perfectly.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

I had a problem opening a jnlp file, no matter what, trying to associate it with the Java Web Service exe javaws.exe, but it just would not associate and would not be run. I read throughout forums and all, and in the end from old DOS.exe files that I have used, somehow I did that and a miracle, it worked, I simply dragged the saved jnlp file and dropped it onto the javaws.exe, and it was executed. wanted to share this...

Alex, it appears our friends at Oracle heard you loud and clear. According to the JDK Bug System, this issue is being tracked under defect JDK-8185661. The fix appears to be in the pipeline for inclusion in an upcoming Critical Patch Update (CPU).

In the meantime, it is possible to test the fix on a development system using an early access build downloaded via Oracle's Java Early Access Downloads page. After reproducing the issue with JRE 8u151 (1.8.0_151-b12) on a Windows 10 version 1703 system, using IE 11.0.44, I verified the issue as fixed after updating to early-access JRE 8u162 (1.8.0_162-ea-b01).
