Still can't figure out setting up java..

[Der Fuhrer]

I've tried installing/uninstalling java, made sure it was java 8, but I guess I'm still missing something? I could only get it to open once and it told me I had java 12 so I uninstalled all my java shit and downloaded JRE and JDK 8 and now it's not even launching at all. I've read all the guides and none of the coding shit or cmd prompt stuff makes sense to me and none of it worked when I tried it

if you're positive you only have Java 8 installed, download and run this utility to fix file assocations:
