Jusched is this a needed service or a waste of system resources?

Jusched or Jusched.exe to be exact is the Java update scheduler which checks for any Java updates once a month.

Now to me a service which is constantly running and only actually does anything once a month is a waste of system resources, around 11mb, so if you’re looking for a way disabling Java updates then read on.

(If this was a critical update it would be scheduled as a default to check more frequently than only once a month. The last Windows Java security flaw was around 2 years ago)

After disabling Java updates we can always manually check for any Java updates when needed.

Windows XP
To begin with launch the Control Panel and open the Java Control Panel

Once it opens select the Update tab, as you can see updates run once a month

Un-tick Check for Updates Automatically, you will now see a Java Update Warning stating You have chosen to never check for updates and may miss future security updates.

Select Never Check and click OK to close the Java window, now the jusched service will cease to run

Windows 7
As with Windows XP launch Control Panel – Select Programs

Java – Select the Update tab and Un-tick Check for Updates Automatically, then you will be presented with a Java Update Warning, now select Never Check and select OK to make the change.

Once the change is made the jusched service will automatically stop completely.

If you ever want to check for Java updates manually go back to the Java Control Panel and select the Update tab and then select the Update Now option.
