Strange error after upgrading JDK 8 to Amazon Corretto 11 on Windows Server 2007

Not sure what this error is all about, but after moving away from the subscription-based Oracle JDK to Amazon Corretto JDK 11 (tried Corretto JDK 8 also), and starting Java at the command line, I get the error below:

The procedure entry point K32GetModuleFileNameExA could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll

Tried to research, but cannot find a solution. My fear is that this is an issue with this old Windows Server (2007) software.

Any suggestions would be welcome.

Thanks in advance to all.
