My batch file to start the server opens, then says "press any key to continue"

[_Akeera]

heres the output: 

"C:\Users\Akeera\Desktop\forge server>"C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_361\bin\javaw.exe" -Xmx2048M -Xmx2048M -jar forge-1.16.5-36.2.34.jar

C:\Users\Akeera\Desktop\forge server>pause
Press any key to continue . . ."

I think it has to do with my java versions but i've tried so many...

'java' not 'javaw'

Javaw opens it in the background.

thank you! this sort of fixed the issue, although the server still will not start..

your responses are appreciated

Nevermind, I figured it out. For future reference to anyone that might need it: 

1.16.5 Forge server hosting requires jre-8u321 or earlier, and jdk 11 should be stable for most mods.
