How to fix JAVA_HOME and PATH on Windows.

If java points to the wrong version or javac is missing, your environment usually has conflicting state between PATH and JAVA_HOME.

Symptom

`java -version` shows one JDK while `JAVA_HOME` points somewhere else, or `javac` is not found.

Cause

Old Java bin folders remain in PATH, or JAVA_HOME still targets an outdated installation.

Fix

Use one managed source of truth for the active JDK and let the tool rewrite the user environment consistently.

Practical workflow

Install JDK Manager, scan for JDKs, select the intended version, then open a new terminal so the updated environment is picked up cleanly. If you need the fix in the current shell, use the CLI export workflow.
