Copy link 

$wowNode = ""
If($OSArchitecture.OSArchitecture -ne "32-bit"){
  $wowNode = "Wow6432Node\"
}
Set-ItemProperty "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\$wowNode`JavaSoft\Java Update\Policy" -Name EnableAutoUpdateCheck -Type DWORD -Value 0 -Force
# ...

or

$Path =  "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Update\Policy"
If($OSArchitecture.OSArchitecture -ne "32-bit"){
   $Path =  "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\wow6432Node\JavaSoft\Java Update\Policy"
}
Set-ItemProperty $Path -Name EnableAutoUpdateCheck -Type DWORD -Value 0 -Force
# ...
