Java Is Blocked
Java is a programming language that's required to run several application and view content on the Internet. It's required to perform a variety of functions such as chatting and playing games; however, security programs and popup blockers block the program and prevent it from running. If you're unable to run Java or run into error messages when you use certain websites and applications, Oracle provides solutions to maximize the program's performance.

Symptoms
-
When you visit pages or use programs that require Java to function, they won't load if they are unable to detect the programming language. If Java is blocked, some programs will freeze and crash when you load them. In many cases, Java error messages usually accompany blocks. If Java is unable to initialize, runtime errors that vary depending on the cause of the problem appear on the screen. Visiting the Java test page allows you to verify whether the programming language is working properly.
Security Programs
-
Security programs such as firewalls and antiviruses often block Java. Firewalls such as Windows Firewall preinstalled with the operating system and third-party programs are designed to permit or deny access to the Internet. If Java isn't one of the programs the firewall allows to connect to the Internet, Java-intensive programs can't work until you temporarily disable the program or adjust security settings to permit Internet access. Adjusting a firewall's settings to allow Java communication varies with different security programs, so refer to your program's documentation.

Popup Blocker
-
Popup blockers are also known to block Java when you visit certain Java-intensive sites. This applies to pop-up blockers preinstalled with your browser, and third-party programs downloaded and installed from the Internet. If a pop-up blocker error message appears on the website your visiting, temporarily disabling the ad blocker can solve problems. Popup blockers allow you to customize settings to allow or block popups for specific sites. Adding Java-intensive sites to the popup blocker's list of websites allowed to run popups improves Java's performance.
Other
-
The latest version of Java includes enhancements and fixes to solve problems such as freezing and crashing. Updating the programming language allows you to run Java-intensive applications smoothly. In addition, if an older version of Java is damaged or corrupt, uninstalling it before installing an updated version decreases the risk of loading problems.
