Temporary Solution if there is conflict in variables, like in my case i was having oracle path. Run in your command prompt Windows:

set PATH=C:\Program Files\Java\[jdk dir name]\bin;%PATH%

in my case it was as

set PATH=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-17\bin;%PATH%

Permanent solution is to remove that extra unused path of jdk i.e .../orcale/... something in my case, i do not know if this aso apply for other type jdk paths

I observed my Environment Variables , there are some of the paths added for Oracle :

i.e. C:\Program Files\Common Files\Oracle\Java\javapath

I have removed this paths as it was not in use. And it started showing me correct versions.

You have to restart your CMD window after changing the Environment variable. Please do so and retest.

If it's still not working, check in CMD if Java is on the PATH:

echo %PATH%

If it's on the PATH, then check if the path is actually correct:

"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_101\bin\java" -version

Have you restarted your command windows since you added your environment variable ? They are loaded when the window is created and not updated after this.

Besides, what happens if you set manually your environment variable with set JAVA_HOME=<your_path> ? Does the java -version print any output ? You need to try that.
