Java is a versatile, machine-independent programming language that is used to write a variety of different applications. Unlike most other applications, you may run java applications equally well in Windows, Mac, or Linux, provided you have installed Java Virtual Machine (JVM) in your system. However, if JVM breaks, then none of your java applications run.
One recent impact having a broken JVM launcher was felt by users of Minecraft. A recent update brought new features, but also required Java 16 to set up a server. Those with older version of JVM were greeted with a Java Native Interface (JNI) error.
There are other examples where a malfunctioning JVM launcher caused an application to not work, and it could probably happen again in the future. We have this article prepared, so thatyoucan be prepared when your JVM launcher has an error.
What Causes Java Virtual Machine Launcher Errors
Fixing Java Virtual Machine Error in Windows
you may somewhat diagnose what is wrong with your JVM and attempt a corresponding fix based upon the type of error message that you see when you JVM does not work.
Reinstall/Update Java
If the error message you see is “Java Virtual Machine Launcher Could Not Find The Main Class,” then Java has been incorrectly installed or Java installation has been corrupted in your machine.
JNI errors can be caused by outdated version of Java.
To fix this, you need to reinstall Java Runtime Environment.
Increase System Memory for Java
You will get a “Could not create the Java virtual machine” error if Java is trying touse more memorythan has been assigned to it.
you may fix this by increasing the amount of memory allotted to Java.
Sometimes JVM errors can occur because you do not havesufficient user privilegeto run the application.
you may fix this by configuring Java to run as administrator.
