Answer 1

After the latest automatic Java update, I could not run Java from the command prompt.

My path variable had 'C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath;'

I could not cd into 'C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath;' from the command prompt window, since it did not exist.

I removed C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath;' from the path variable and replaced it with 'C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_141\bin;'
