What do you mean by "failing to be enabled". How is it failing?

I don't understand any of that either, and I also run JOSM on Windows (Windows 10).

I have Java installed via Chocolatey (see https://community.chocolatey.org/packages?q=openjdk ) so that it can be easily updated along with everything else.

I have Josm-tested.jar downloaded from https://josm.openstreetmap.de/ , and I I just run "java -jar \path\to\josm-tested.jar" to run it. It just works. Java gets updated whenever any Java updates appear, and Josm whenever I want to take advantage of new features.

Perhaps you could explain what you have done to install Josm and what error messages you're seeing, if any?

I have used JOSM with Windows 10 for a long time. I always use the windows installer on the download page, and besides a install bug a while ago, the install process is always successful.

Maybe you have some garbage from a previous failed install left, which hinder a new install? I would try to uninstall any old version first, via windows settings/apps. I assume it could also be a problem with the Java run time installation. But I don't know how to verify this in a correct way.
