Can anyone give me any idea how to install Jellyfish 2 in windows 10? l have already installed it in Ubuntu but facing some connection problems while using. I also searched for windows version and found the last version of Jellyfish is 1.1.11. It will be very helpful if anyone can give guideline of Jellyfish installation in windows.

Seriously, don't. Use Linux. Jellyfish doesn't need any connection whatsoever when it is installed, so your connection problem is something else. Perhaps ask a specific question to solve the issue that comes up when trying to run Jellyfish.

Extremely sorry for the previous post. I am not facing problem in Ubuntu rather in Windows while installing. Now I am not sure whether it is possible to install Jellyfish in Windows. Because I always use Windows for personal or professional work. Now it is really time consuming to switch to Ubuntu frequently. It will be really helpful if I can install it in Windows.

I'm not sure if recent Jellyfish can be installed in Windows natively. You could try Windows subsystem for Linux, I hear it became quite good lately.

This is definitely the way to go here. Get familiar with WSL if you plan to do bioinformatics on a Windows machine. It works very well and will save you a lot of time.
