Ok, I solved this problem. If any version of java was installed on your device and you did not uninstall it from the Apps & Features section, but only deleted the java folder from the program files, java will stop working properly.

A friend of mine also tried to turn on forge 1.16.5 server and it works just like it does on my computer.

Something is loading, but it doesn't say anything.

Maybe I am downloading java from the wrong source (I downloaded it from the oracle website), can you post a link to download java 8?

When I try to turn on the server with java 8, it doesn't even create logs and the installer doesn't work either.

I can't even open forge installer unless i have java 17 but server doesn't turn on, it creates log that says [12maj2022 09:56:31.682] [main/INFO] [cpw.mods.modlauncher.Launcher/MODLAUNCHER]: ModLauncher running: args [--gameDir, ., --launchTarget, fmlserver, --fml.forgeVersion, 36.2.35, --fml.mcpVersion, 20210115.111550, --fml.mcVersion, 1.16.5, --fml.forgeGroup, net.minecraftforge] [12maj2022 09:56:31.682] [main/INFO] [cpw.mods.modlauncher.Launcher/MODLAUNCHER]: ModLauncher 8.1.3+8.1.3+main-8.1.x.c94d18ec starting: java version 17.0.3.1 by Oracle Corporation and [12maj2022 09:56:31.682] [main/INFO] [cpw.mods.modlauncher.Launcher/MODLAUNCHER]: ModLauncher running: args [--gameDir, ., --launchTarget, fmlserver, --fml.forgeVersion, 36.2.35, --fml.mcpVersion, 20210115.111550, --fml.mcVersion, 1.16.5, --fml.forgeGroup, net.minecraftforge] [12maj2022 09:56:31.682] [main/INFO] [cpw.mods.modlauncher.Launcher/MODLAUNCHER]: ModLauncher 8.1.3+8.1.3+main-8.1.x.c94d18ec starting: java version 17.0.3.1 by Oracle Corporation [12maj2022 09:56:31.698] [main/DEBUG] [cpw.mods.modlauncher.LaunchServiceHandler/MODLAUNCHER]: Found launch services [minecraft,testharness,fmlclient,fmlserver]

When I try to turn it on with Java 17 installed, it doesn't work and I can't open any forge files using any other java version.
