My Neo4j Desktop is dead after update the 1.4.11.58

[pvillads]

I was running happily along when I decided to upgrade to the newest version, 1.4.11 as prompted in the desktop app. I downloaded it, and it installed, but starting it does not open the app any longer. It just creates 3 processes that just sit there doing nothing.

I am able to use the neo4j console and connect to it using the browser. The console is the newest version, at least judged by the creation date given:

creationDate: 2022-01-02T03:59:04.215Z

When I look at the log files in my neo4j log directory in the root directory I find:

2022-01-02 03:43:29.370+0000 WARN [o.n.k.i.JvmChecker] You are using an unsupported version of the Java runtime. Please use Oracle(R) Java(TM) 11 or OpenJDK(TM) 11.

but that is exactly the version that I am using as reported by the tool itself in the log file. Please find the excerpt below. I found another log file (probably pertaining more to first run after the upgrade where it talks about importing the my database - In there I find a lot of error messages:

I deleted the .neodesktop folder and restarted. How I get a stack trace almost immediately:
