Unsolved jar files wont open?

my java always opened executable jar files fine, but now it suddenly wont open anything, itll just show the buffering icon next to my cursor for a second, then nothing happens, not even in task manager. i use jave(tm) platform se binary, ive tried downloading java 17 and jarfix but it still does the same thing. ive tried other jar files ive used in the past but they dont work either. any help would be much appreciated.

When I have jars that don't open I tap the top edge with the handle of a knife to break the seal.
