JQS.EXE – How to Disable it?

by MJK on November 30, 2009

If you press Control+Alt+Delete on your computer and inside taskbar looks for processes, you will come across JQS.EXE running on low priority. The process takes around 1.5 mb of computer memory and 2 mb of virtual memory. Although, its not a burden on your computer but if you still want to close it, there is an easy method for it.

Before closing this process, i will tell you what this process is all about! Jqs.exe is the Java Quick Starter which was designed to improve the startup time of Java applets and applications by pre fetching Java Runtime Environment files frequently into memory. That’s mainly interesting for users who work with Java on a day to day basis. Everyone else might be better of disabling the Java Quick Starter. Think of a user who encounters one Java applet per month (or week), would it make sense to run the process all the time because of those few instances where it might start the application or applet faster?

Now in order to Disable JQS.EXE, you need to follow these simple steps:

• To disable just visit the Control Panel and open the Java entry.
• Now go to Advanced tab and look for the Miscellaneous entry below.
• Make sure to uncheck the activated Java Quick Starter entry.

Once done, you will see the result appear in the Task Bar where JSQ.EXE will be instantly terminated.
