This is 2019. For anyone experiencing this issue... The first thing is to make sure that you correctly set your environment variables as per this instruction: https://www.mkyong.com/java/how-to-set-java_home-on-windows-10/

Which means you should be able to type javac -version and java -version and get the version number inside your Home directory.

Once you can confirm this, then go to the Project Structure inside, the SDK Location > JDK Location select Use JAVA_HOME environment variable.

This was what I did and it worked.
