The jucheck.exe and jusched.exe processes are important for keeping Oracle Java up to date on a system. These processes run automatically and possess no threat. But Java Update uses your Internet connection to check and download updates. So, many users may find them annoying. In that case, users may safely shutdown or stop those two processes. Stopping jucheck.exe and jusched.exe has no significant impact on your system or the Java program itself. Just the Java auto update process will stop working. You can still update Java manually.
