Why won't Java desktop programs run under Windows?

Question

Java

Good day to all!
For many days I have been trying to overcome Java - but not a single desktop program written in Java and compiled into .exe wants to work. Absolutely nothing happens at startup, and "javaw.exe Java(TM) Platform SE binary" hangs in the background processes (each time you try to start a new one, one more process is duplicated).
At the same time, in the browser (Google Chrome), Java works fine and without problems.
On a Windows 8.1 x64 computer, Java 7 Update 45 is installed
. Can you please give me any ideas how to try to run it?

Answer 1

but not a single desktop program written in Java and compiled to .exe wants to work.

Because you are using dubious tools.
Compile to class or jar and run normally.

Answer 2

Yes, there can be a million reasons:
1. The program needs some additional file.
2. The program should not do what you think at all.
In general, I would be the last to blame the JVM.
And in more detail, you need to at least understand what kind of program?
