I didnt think java was a hog until I looked at my task manager.. 104GB read bytes by far the most. Okay that was over 20 days but thats 5GB per day.. for what.. an updater? Disabled.

Hi, I’ve been using Windows Task Manager and I had many problems when I find impossible to say by your post. Amazing things in life. Thanks and best regards.

I have tried unchecking it through Java Control Panel Applet as well as through MsConfig utility but jqs.exe process still loaded with windows bootup, until it set its process ‘startup type’ to manual in Windows Services.
Thanks for this helpful article.

Following this procedure whilst trying to figure out what’s slowing my system and noticed that my installation of Firefox 4 has 12 iterations of Java Console in its add-on manager. Will all of these be running or does it not just remove the last one when a new one is installed? Are they needed?

That service eats 15 megabytes of the main memory of my computer! Just disabled it, thanks!

1) JQS.exe should be disabled, not in the Java applet in Control Panel, but in Windows Services Manager. Otherwise, it will be disabled only for the current Windows’ user.

Start > Run > services.msc
Scroll down to Java Quick Starter
Double-click on it
Change Startup Type to Disabled
and click on Stop to stop it now
OK

2) If you wish to see what it can do, prior to disabling it, open Task Manager.
Processes tab
View > Select Columns – check the I/O Read Bytes Column
OK
Stretch that column wide enough to see the largest numbers
Click on the column heading twice to bring the largest ones to the top.

3) If the computer has been booted very long, you will see jqs.exe has 10 to 100 times more read bytes than second place.

4) JQS will come back when java is updated

5) JQS does not show up on Vista, Windows 7, or Server 2008.

6) JQS may be stopped and disabled using exactly these commands:

Net Stop “JavaQuickStarterService”
SC Config “JavaQuickStarterService” start= Disabled

Note that “start=” must be
“start=”
“start =” will not work.

7) Java Quick Starter appears to have a misnomer for its middle name.

I’ve tried that and it still shows up after the computer boots up. In fact I have disabled it, enabled it back, and disabled it again and it still shows up. It seems to autoload when I start the Java Console and stays running forever, it’s like a virus or something, just keeps coming back.

This information was awesome! It freed up 469MB on my computer. I had been having problems on my computer for a while and especially the last few months. I couldn’t figure this out on my own. I have a few other items to clean up, but it is back to running faster than ever.

bugger me — I was convinced I had some trojans on all our office PCs masqeurading under other legit processes — it turns out it was ll this tiny P.O.S. slowing our PCs down to an unusable level!! it doesn’t use any significant ram, but it chews through the IO reads at an alarming rate — several gigabytes of reads on each PC every single day! given that fact, the Java code must be completely shot.

Amazing. Something that’s worried me for so long because I didn’t understand it …. the explanation was concise and easily understandable even by a know-nothing Java novice like me. The fix was simple. Only 8Mb of RAM saved? Still worth it. And it saves a lot of disk thrashing, which is probably a good thing. Many thanks for this article – I haven’t yet had time to investigate this site, but it’s going to become a bookmarked favourite, that’s for sure.
