Description

Hi,

The registry keys in

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\JDK\CurrentVersion=11
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\JDK\11
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\JDK\11.0.16.8

these 3 keys should be deleted after uninstalling the JDK. But the uninstaller doesn't.

Research direction

Start by tracing the Windows uninstaller logic that handles the JDK registry entries listed in the issue. Verify that uninstalling the JDK removes CurrentVersion, the version key, and the full-version key under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\JDK.
