On Windows 10 Enterprise (b1607), checked this for JDK 8u and 9 ea. This seems a regression from 8u111, though worked fine in 9 ea. Result: ========= 8u92: OK 8u111: FAIL 8u112: FAIL 8u131: FAIL 8u121: FAIL 8u144: FAIL 9 ea b181: OK Steps to Reproduce With the release of Windows 10, version 1607, App-V is included with the Windows 10 for Enterprise edition. 1. Enable app-v (Use Windows Powershell - Administrative mode) PS C:\Windows\system32> enable-appv App-V was successfully enabled. PS C:\Windows\System32> shutdown -r -t 0 2. Install the App-V Sequencer The App-V Sequencer is included in the Windows 10 Assessment and Deployment Kit (Windows ADK). 3. Start MS Application Virtualization (App-V) Sequencer Tool 4. Create package from JDK exe, for example jdk-8u144-windows-x64.exe By default the folder with app-v package will be created in Desktop. 5. Remove earlier installation (JDK 8u144) from Add-Remove Programs 6. Now, install from newly created appv package 7. Run Java WebStart Development example (Dynamic Tree demo), https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/deployment/webstart/examplesIndex.html Note: The application launched fine with JDK 8u92 and 9 ea b181.

From https://community.oracle.com/message/14398922: ---------------------- Under 8u91, 2 instances of javaws and one instance of jp2launcher is started. For 8u121 there is only one instance of javaws that gets closed after around 10 seconds without any output, no errors, nothing ------------------------ Some changes in 8u121 stopped creating two instances of javaws, which seems affecting the JNLP application running under App-V environment.

Not sure, if Microsoft App-V is a supported environment to deploy Java. However, the issue has been reported by multiple users in the community forums: https://community.oracle.com/message/14398922 https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/b298dc2c-a2db-4590-97cb-d8a205e7b18b This could be related to JDK-8185661.
