Running Jar File on Windows 10 [Duplicate]

I have made a Jar file, but I cant make it to run by double clicking.
It works fine using java -jar name.jar or by making a batch file.
I have already reinstalled jdk1.8.0_102, set the JAVA_HOME variable and javaw.exe in the jre folder is already the default program to run it.
so how do I make it to run by double clicking?

How do I run an executable JAR file? If you have a jar file called Example.jar, follow these rules:

Open a notepad.exe.
Write : java -jar Example.jar.
Save it with the extension .bat.
Copy it to the directory which has the .jar file.
Double click it to run your .jar file.
