I had today the same issue, and at first I noticed that the error was about a JDK, while the path reported below was referring to a JRE (as in your screenshot above). I did some digging, and found out that I had multiple entries in PATH that led to a jre1.8.0_202, which in my case was the path indicated as wrong by gradle.

I fixed this by adding a JAVA_HOME environment variable that pointed to a java 8 JDK, since gradle looks for this variable first. I restarted Android Studio just to be cautious, and the problem was gone.

PS: I have no idea though on why the update caused this error. Not sure even was the update that caused it.
