1.16.4 Forge Server Not Starting

[Tactical_Tank]

I'm trying to install a 1.16.4 forge server but when I run 'forge-1.16.4-35.1.37.jar' with start.bat 'java -Xmx2048M -Xms2048M -jar forge-1.16.4-35.1.37.jar nogui ' it freezes and gives me this error.

When I run the same bat file aimed at the vanilla server jar, it runs fine but vanilla and not forge. I have no idea what this error code is telling me and would appreciate some help with starting this server.

Use Java 8

Do I need to uninstall anything before re installing from this download link?

I completely uninstalled Java using their uninstall tool and reinstalled Version 8 Update 411 and the same error persists.

I figured it out, I needed to use JDK 11, so I uninstalled all other versions of JDK and installed JDK 11 and it worked fine.
