I have Windows 10 and Chrome browser. For about a week my computer has been playing this trick on me: While I am using the browser, I get a pop-up window of sorts that says a Java update is available. It says to "click here to continue". I don't understand
why this update is not simply installed instead of interrupting my work with the computer so I can work on the computer, but I "click" there "to continue" and get rid of this problem. The message disappears. There is no continuing. Nothing gets done; it is just wasted time. The area where the notice
was says "No new notifications". This happens a few times a day, probably every time I wake the computer from sleep mode. How do I fix this problem? Snipping tool would not capture the image of the notice, so I just took a picture of the screen.

Have you already tried to download Java and update it manually?

The first step says click "start". What is that?
I looked the page again and noticed the assistant thing and it told me what "start" is. That was my first guess but when I click on it, no rectangle appears in which to type the information that the instructions tell me to type. Out of frustration, I started typing anyway and the rectangle appeared and the letters that I typed appeared in the rectangle. I did not expect that because I have never seen anything like it. I followed the instructions and in the end, it said that no problems were found. It did not affect the problem. I shut down the computer and then started it and opened the browser. Within 5 minutes the message popped up again and when I clicked on it, it disappeared just like it has been doing for about a week.
I noticed that the messages are appearing out of order. There is no time stamp on them so anybody reading this is going to have a hard time following the conversation. This is message 5.
