This might be a helpful thread for Java Runtime Environment users and application developers. Some applications behave abnormally if you are not running the required and supportive version of JRE in your computer. CISCO ASDM is a good example. I had issues when I installed it in JRE Update 19. So you need to remove this version and install a compatible version of JRE Update 17.

All you need to do is uninstall the existing version and install a compatible version of Java Runtime Environment. Here comes JavaRa

Tiny utility JavaRa cleans up older or redundant versions of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) that might be littering up your PC, and optionally updates to the latest version. It's a simple tool that just works.
