IDEA always asks to consider switching to bundled JDK, won't switch.

Answered

Every time I start IDEA, it asks "please consider switching to the bundled java runtime".  I click switch and select the bundled JDK and restart. It does not seem to have stuck, there are no errors, just using my systems configured JDK.  I have used the plugin to update my bundled JDK to the latest also, but it just doesn't seem to work.  Are there any logs or debugging I can turn on to figure out why?

Thank.

System environment variable will have the priority for JDK selection, see https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/articles/206544879.

If you've set the environment variable to override it, you will have to remove it manually.
