Each version of Windows seems to make setting file associations more convoluted. For Windows 10 version 1709, the sequence is Control Panel > Default programs > Associate a file type or protocol ... > Choose default apps by file type, and then associate the .jar extension with Java Platform SE Binary. If you need to search for the actual program, you will normally find it at C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_151\bin\javaw.exe, or whatever comparable path is appropriate to the version of Java you are running.

When I do as you suggest I am given only two options to associate with .jar.
They are
Internet Explorer
Look for an App in the store

I do not seem to have an option to search for Java
Nor to search

If I select Select Defaults by App, then Java is not in the list of apps

If I look at Programmes and Features, I have Java 8 Update 151

Have I perhaps not downloaded the proper Java?
