Android Studio – Unrecognized VM option 'MaxPermSize=512m' Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine. Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit

I updated my IDE to Android Studio Arctic Fox version and was facing this issue when I tried to sync gradle after the upgrade was complete:

"Unrecognized VM option 'MaxPermSize=512m' Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine. Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit."

enter image description here

I checked my java version, which was Java 17. I deleted my .gradle directory which didn’t help. Reversed the gradle.properties changes made by the update. It didn’t work either. I looked for maxPermSize value in my vm.studiooptions file. It wasn’t there as suggested in some stackoverflow already asked questions.

Sharing the fix for this below.

    Inside Gradle settings choose Embedded JDK.

    What fixed this for me was changing the JAVA_HOME environment variable on my computer from a JDK 17 version to a JDK 11 version.

    I was running some commands that were using my computer’s Java environment which was JDK 17 and my project did not support JDK 17.
