Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

This is a confusing one - your system OpenJDK looks like it should be the right version (11), but Jira is not recognising it.

You could do what it suggests - tell it to ignore the JVM version, but I'd be worried about why exactly it's saying it doesn't like it.

[Rahul Kharade]

I already tried by ignoring JVM version but this one also not useful. it gives same result.

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

Ok, that one is worth trying, I'd expect a different error message, but if it's not worked, there's not much point looking at that.

Next thing is a look at the full environment.  You've reminded me that I've seen something like this a while ago, and it was a broken environment.

I rarely use windows (it's for the odd game, or downloading a real OS to replace it in my world), so I'm not sure this is the right command, but could you try, on the command line where you tried to start Jira, just a simple

set

and hit return.  This should give you a terminal full of environment variables, most of which will look wonderfully cryptic.  Some of them will be Java related, and what we're looking for is consistency. 

For example, if $JAVA_HOME=C:\Java\Bobsjava, and $PATH=[stuff];C:\Java\Charliesjava\bin;[more stuff], then things are breaking because it's trying to use two different versions of Java!

What also strikes me as odd is this line

Using JRE_HOME: "C:\Program Files\Atlassian\Jira\jre\"

This should correspond to your JAVA_HOME (I think?). 

Could you check in {jira_installation_directory}\bin\setenv.bat if there are specified JAVA_HOME and JRE_HOME variables? They might, or might not be, it's been a veery long time since I had my hands on a new installation.

In my case the first Jira instance I'm checking locally I see both variables on top of the file, and both point to the same directory. 

Also found https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRASERVER-71475 which, albeit seems to be fixed in 8.18.1, seems to be related to what your Jira says about JRE_HOME.
