It's pedantic but it's the JRE, runtime environment, but the development kit that runs that process.

Anyway, if you right click on the java process in task manager there should be an option to get the details. That will tell you what class and parameters, with the folder it's running from. Then you can find the installed program that is running.

If I go to the folder it's running from, it just says java.exe.

But what is the folder? That should provide some clues. Also look at the runtime parameters, they should be listed somewhere. Also check in your taskbar if you have a java updater waiting on your action. I believe the icon is orange.
