Your welcome.
It may be named of all things, Java.exe.(google)
When installed I think it is in the system 32 folder and another in the syswo64 folder.
(I forgot about that one.)
I kept have internet popups so I finally traced the source to a BHO then to the Registry key then to the file in the folder.
And that was after uninstalling all versions.

Well, at least I can say that the last machine of mine that had Java on it was decommissioned at least a decade ago.
Never had a reason to look back either.

Calibre, the e-book manager, was the worst. Haven't used it in a while so I don't know what it's like now but there used to be an update available every time you opened it!

The only thing I use java for at home is to run a utility bot in an IRC channel. After swearing at the bot being a buggy PoS for a half dozen years I've finally started to do something about it. I found a .net irc library, pillaged one of it's sample projects, and after 2 evenings of screwing around have something approaching a minimal functioning replacement written. If I'm there yet comes down to if the baseline framework handles reconnects automatically - I didn't feel like elephanting with the connection on my main PC last night to test - need to plonk VS on my laptop for that. My next step after that's probably to throw it over the wall, and unlock the half-baked github resume achievement.
Post deployment, it'll be 3 billion minus 2.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

What I have not tried:
It should be preset with:
Googling for [insert subject like error message here] because then I have to read multiple links while the folks at CP will do that for me.

The OP noticed that "What have I tried" is a trick question.

I tried gin. I'm not sure it was the answer but decided it was worth a shot.

I don't give up quickly so I usually give gin a few shots.
