I fixed by deleting all IntelliJ configuration by deleting the path C:\Users\{myusername}\AppData\Roaming\JetBrains\IntelliJIdea2024.1.

I have faced same issue after updating android studio version electric eel. it's show error like this.

After many try I found this solution. you can follow this steps.

Step 1 : You can visit this site Official Oracle Java SE Development Kit Site and download particular JDK kit for your pc configuration. I am suggest to download this JDK version Java SE Development Kit 18.0.2.1 and after download you can install in your computer.

Step 2 : After Successfully installed you can go

Stat--> Search--> Edit Environment Variable --> You can follow this image

Step 3: Now You can Add JAVA_HOME: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-18.0.2.1 (install version in your pc) Like this

and also add PATH : C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-18.0.2.1\bin (install version in your pc) Like this

Note : You can only add user variable not system variable.

Step 4 : Last step but main after follow these steps you can restart your pc.

I had the same issue (JDK 1.8.0_212), but none of the suggested solution worked. I then installed a newer JDK (1.8.0_261) and the problem was solved (obviously, I had to update the JAVA_HOME too).

Can be several reasons:

1). Check that your jdk-byte architecture is the same as your os-byte. So, 32-nit architecture needs 32-bit jdk, 64 bit architecture needs 64 bit jdk.

2). If you're running a 64-bit architecture, use (idea64.exe, phpstorm64.exe, etc.). On the 32-bit architecture use (idea.exe, phpstorm.exe, etc), to launch intelli-j products from the command line or terminal.

Solved it by running Android studio as admin.

Just Check on that path if the jvm.dll is present just run Android studio as administrator.

I have faced the same problem and in my case, just right click and "Run as administrator", everything works fine.

P.S. I am using Windows 10 in our company's domain.

Nothing of the other solutions work for me on IntelliJ 2019.2 which starts to use JDK 11 on boot, so I have to resolve it on my own.

Open C:\Users\.IdeaIC2019.2\config\idea64.exe.jdk and edit it to be:

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_131

Restart IDE.

As documented on https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/switching-boot-jdk.html

Note: the path on your machine may be different.

You have to do nothing buddy. Just use 32 bit version of application or install 64 bit JDK. You installed 32 bit JDK and you are trying to access 64 bit version of that application.

To fix I didn't need to touch my environment variables.

I fixed that issue by installing/re-installing the latest PHPStorm version choosing the option to keep old settings, logging out from Windows and logging back in.

I had this issue when trying to start PHPStorm via the command line (add the phpstorm bin folder to your path, and you should be able to do eg phpstorm.exe .) - my local installed worked fine.

Add the path to the PhpStorm bin folder to the Path environment variable (for example, C:\Program Files\JetBrains\PhpStorm\bin). After you configured the Path environment variable, you can run the PhpStorm commands.

adding the path to the jdk PHPStorm comes bundled with as JAVA_HOME (setx JAVA_HOME "C:\Program Files (x86)\JetBrains\PhpStorm 2019.1\jre64") doesn't solve the issue as the default phpstorm.exe tries to find a 32-bit jdk

I needed to specifically use the 64-bit phpstorm application
phpstorm64.exe .

I had the same problem - My solution was slightly different.

I needed to install Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x64)

Hope this helps someone else!

Actually i had installed the Android Studio canary version, and created a short cut of 32-bit on 64-bit windows operating system,

resolved by starting 64-bit version of Android Studio

It could be problem with 32 and 64 version. Maybe you trying to launch 32-bit shortcut on your Desktop. Try to launch 64 version (idea64.exe) inside IDEA folder. This worked for me.

If you are installing Intellij Idea on a 32 bit System - the JDK will not come within the bundle.

To fix this issue follow the steps below :

1.Uninstall the installed Intellij IDEA

2.Download and install JDK SE 8 from this link : https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/java-archive-javase8-2177648.html

3.Install Intellij IDEA

In my case, this error appeared after signing in to Microsoft account (I use Windows 10). When I logged out, the error dissapeared.

I fixed this issue by:

Setting the JAVA_HOME environment variable to the location of the JDK I wanted to use e.g. C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_171
Replacing any paths referring to Java e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\java\jdk1.8.0_112\jre\bin\server\jvm.dll in Path with %JAVA_HOME%\bin as suggested by DimaSan
Removing the following from the System variables path C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath

The last step was crucial for me, this was overriding JAVA_HOME.

Change the following value from your Path system variable:

C:\Program Files (x86)\java\jdk1.8.0_112\jre\bin\server\jvm.dll

to:

%JAVA_HOME%\bin

Also make sure there are no any other references to Java folders in the Path variable.
