Frequently asked questions
Is klist.exe safe?
klist.exe is a normal part of Java 8 when it sits in the program's install folder and carries the publisher's digital signature. A file with the same name in another folder can be something else: check its signature and hash.
Where is klist.exe located?
In the program's install folder, which the installer chooses; winget puts portable programs under %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\WinGet\Packages.
How do I remove klist.exe?
Uninstall Java 8 through Settings → Apps or with winget; the uninstaller removes klist.exe with it. Deleting the file alone leaves the rest of the program behind.
