IntelliJ terminal has a different environment path?

I am trying to run maven project in the intelliJ, then got an error 

 JAVA_HOME is set to an invalid directory.
 JAVA_HOME = "H:\jdk\1.8\bin"
 Please set the JAVA_HOME varialbe in your environment to match 
 the location of you Java installation

I have changed the environment variable in system to "H:\jdk\1.8", and restart the intelliJ, still got the same error. But in system command prompt, the java_home is already "H:\jdk\1.8"

Does anyone know how to solve it? Thank you.

Environment variables are inherited from the parent process and are not updated on the fly in most cases. You should logout/login or reboot for the environment variables to have effect for all the apps on the system.

If you are using JetBrains Toolbox, restart it. IntelliJ inherits old environment variables from toolbox's process.
