Minecraft update from 1.16.4 to 1.17 java error occurs

Question

i have minecraft version 1.16.4 on my pc. OS is windows 10. today I wanted to get new major update. when i run the launcher i got the error that said "minecraft does not detect java". so i uninstalled minecraft and java. i installed them again. but now after update i get this java error:
   [E] Error: A JNI error has occurred, please check your installation and try again
   [E] Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: 
   net/minecraft/client/main/Main has been compiled by a more recent version of the Java 
   Runtime (class file version 60.0), this version of the Java Runtime only recognizes class 
   file versions up to 52.0

what should i do to fix this? (if any further information is needed please comment so i add them to my question)
minecraft launcher is ExtremeLauncher 3.9.5.0. i have javaRE 8.291 and javaDK 16 installed on my pc.

thanks to @Phoenix and @greg-449 for answering.
I searched a little bit and saw this video: "www.youtube.com/watch?v=kehS3GkHiFM"
it solved my problem.
for anyone that may face this problem, actually you should change java address in your launcher to something like this> C:Program FilesJavajdk-16binjavaw.exe
brows your pc for right address before changing.
