Viewing this crash data can help you determine why the Java TM SE platform binary is not responding on your device. If you don't mind having sensitive data shared with a third party provider, you can share that crash data with a professional who will explain to you why it happened. If you don't want to do this, you can find the location of the Java.exe file by browsing the WER file and running the Java executable with administrator rights, as follows. Hope this solves the problem.
