Can’t open with java

[bigmouthbob1]

So I am trying to install optifine and I get to the point where I try to “open with java” and it just flashes a cmd screen and does nothing I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling but that won’t work

Which version of Minecraft? And are you using Forge or vanilla Minecraft?

I’m using vanilla and I’m using 1.13.2

I got Optifine 1.13.2 HD U E7 to open perfectly fine. What version of Java do you have? I'm using Java 8 Update 201 (64-bit). (You can find it in Programs and Features. Not sure if newer versions of Windows 10 have something else, but if they do, it should be in whatever is the equivalent)

Strange. Maybe try restarting your computer and/or installing 64-bit Java? (You've got 64-Bit JDK, but looks like only 32-bit JRE) ( You can get 64-bit here: https://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp )

Try opening command prompt at your desktop (hold shift, right click, then "Open Command Window Here".)
Run the command

Quote

Java -jar Optifine_1.13.2_HD_U_E7.jar

then see if that gets it working or not.

It’s says power shell window will that work?

Power Shell is a bit different and doesn't operate the same way as command prompt. You might have to open command prompt and navigate to your desktop manually. (Should be as easy as opening it from the start menu and entering "cd Desktop".)
