Answer 1

I upgraded to JDK 11 from JDK 8. After adding Java 11 to the path [ point path up to

bin foler ] and JAVA_HOME [ only upto jdk folder (don't include bin ) ]

successfully,

java -version was still pointing to the previous java version (java 8 in my case.)

Then, I ran a command "setx -m JAVA_HOME "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-11.0.7"

Now java -version or javac -version both shows java 11.

I hope it helps you too.
