On Window 10, the problem was with the semicolon ;.

Go to edit the system environment variables and delete the semicolon at the end of JAVA_HOME value C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_144

You might have to delete your entry in the Windows Dialog and create a new one. If you ever had multiple entries and get the bigger Form view, Windows automatically inserts a ; at the end of each entry, even if you only have one entry left.
