JDK 8u91 installer auto-reboots my PC without prompting the user

XMLWordPrintable

    • x86_64
    • windows_10

      FULL PRODUCT VERSION :


      ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
      Windows 10
      Windows Server 2012

      A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
      When running jdk-8u91-windows-x64.exe, the install process will shutdown and reboot the PC without informing or asking the user.

      If this is intentional, it is a terrible feature.

      STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
      1. Run jdk-8u91-windows-x64.exe.
      2, Wait for PC to reboot after installation is finished.

      EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
      EXPECTED -
      I would expect that if the installer required a reboot, it would at least let me know and click OK before proceeding. This would let me close out any in-progress work I had open at the time.

      At best, it should allow me the option of rebooting later.

      REPRODUCIBILITY :
      This bug can be reproduced always.
