    Hi Jayden,

    I'm an Independent Advisor and consumer of Microsoft products just like you. Let me help you with your concern.

    Java Auto Update is a feature of the Java runtime that keeps your Windows PC up-to-date on the latest Java releases.

    You may refer to the below link for more details.

    Java runtime is an important component of some apps that you may have. You have to apply/download the update because it is in the updates that software fixes are made available to existing software installation. In that sense, it boost your PCs security.
