GPO and Java Updates

I think I have asked this before, but I forgot. My problem is that Java updates are pushed out via GPO and when they do, the installed Ignitions apps are removed.

Is there a workaround to this… maybe with the Client Launcher?

Client launcher is definitely the easier way to handle distributing Ignition clients. You can put it on a shared network drive (or just on every machine via GPO) and also push out a prebuilt shortcuts to auto-launch whatever clients/designers:
