Description
Relevant stack trace is:

After a few web searches, I am totally clueless as to what causes this problem.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the launch failure on an affected Windows system and trace the Java Access Bridge error through java.awt.Toolkit.loadAssistiveTechnologies and ij.ImageJ initialization. Review the linked chat log and determine the cause; the issue is done when affected systems launch without this AWTError.
