Unable to start Java. Error details: The requested operation requires elevation

Recently while playing offline due to internet outages Malwarebytes identified Javaw.exe as malware, not thinking too much of it i deleted the file causing this error. 

Unable to start Java. Error details: The requested operation requires elevation. Filename on disk: javaw.exe Path: C:\Users\---\curseforge\minecraft\Install\runtime\java-runtime-gamma\windows-x64\java-runtime-gamma\bin\javaw.exe

Exists: File

I reinstalled the file, same error occurred.

I deleted CurseForge, over wolf and Minecraft and reinstalled them. Same error occurring.

I have read starting Minecraft in administrator mode will help. I attempted to launch Minecraft through CurseForge in administrative mode this did not help. 

I updated and downloaded the newest version of java, again receiving the same error.

I updated Malwarebytes authorizing settings to allow for Javaw.exe through the pathway

C:\Users\jacob\curseforge\minecraft\Install\runtime\java-runtime-gamma\windows-x64\java-runtime-gamma\bin\javaw.exe

this did not assist either. 

I am unsure of what to try next or what i am missing, i am not an expert with the complexities of these systems but any help to teach me or assist in problem solving would help.

I also cannot find any debug logs or crash logs based on this specific circumstance. 

The only thing that pops up when I search debug through the files is https://pastebin.com/WqMEvEn6.
