Answer 1

This is how I solved the same issue I faced today:

From Control Panel > Uninstall a Program > uninstall the older Java versions which are on your system. You should only have Jdk 1.8 and Jre 1.8 on your system.

Now go to C:/Program Files/Java and delete all older java versions. If you have setup your JDK 1.8 and JRE 8 in C:/Program Files (x86)/Java then cut paste them into C:/Program Files/Java folder.

Then I restarted IntelliJ IDE which I am using. It automatically asked to update the path of SDK. Update the path to point to Jdk 1.8 and then I recompiled my files and things started working well.

Hope it works for you too!
