Trying to add Minecraft to firewall but can't seem to find the location of the Java folder or javaw.exe

My firewall has blocked Minecraft, so I can't seem to play in multiplayer. So, I went to go add Minecraft as an allowed app for the firewall. Since I have java edition, other tutorials have been saying to allow 'javaw.exe'. However, this file isn't showing up in when I look through the list of apps/features I can allow through firewall. Apparently the default location of this file is supposed to be C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_31\bin\javaw.exe but I looked in both program files folders and can't seem to even find a folder named 'Java'

I don't know if this is why, but I'm on a new computer and the files (including Minecraft) were just copied from my old computer via USB, so perhaps this is why there is no 'Java' folder? But any way I can fix this, or do I have to find my old computer and copy the Java folder over again?

Also, the rest of minecraft (like minecraft launcher and stuff) is installed in a different folder than the default, but I looked in that folder and in the minecraft folder and didn't seem to find anything either...

The Minecraft launcher ships with its own Java version. It's located where the launcher is installed. For me it's C:\Program Files (x86)\Minecraft Launcher\runtime\jre-x64\bin
