and when I open the log file

Answer 1

I had the same problem. Win10 + JDK 12 + Android Sdk. When I ran "monitor.bat", it is the exactly the same problem. I guess monitor application can not reconginize the latest java version naming convention. I install JRE 8(as follows), the problem is gone.

c:\>java -version java version "1.8.0_221" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_221-b11) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.221-b11, mixed mode)
