Mirth Connect Administrator Launcher: "Error reading Java home directory: ../../jre"

Howdy,

I suspect this is related to the issue (https://forums.mirthproject.io/forum/mirth-connect/support/18561-launcher-error-error-reading-java-home-directory-plugins-jre-bundle-c) on the prior forum.

When I use Mirth Connect Administrator Launcher to open a connection (click the Launch button to the right of the address), it gets to "All done! Launching Administrator," pauses for a moment, then displays the following error:

Error Downloading / Verifying Codebase

Error reading Java home directory: ../../jre
java.lang.Exception: Error reading Java home directory: ../../jre

	at com.mirth.connect.client.launcher.MirthClientLauncher.run(SourceFile:2639)
	at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)

Per info from the old article, I'm getting ready to dig through my bash profile and see if I can find a cause. I'm posting here in case someone has insight or a useful suggestion. Thanks!

New info 2022-02-16:
Mini follow-up: I haven't had time to properly troubleshoot this, though I periodically tried it again. The issue persisted after a reboot, but when I signed out, then signed back in (Windows), I got it to work. Did signing out and back in "fix" it? I doubt it, but I'm jotting it here because extra info is almost always helpful.

Mini update: Issue seems to have disappeared, but now the launcher intermittently opens as a window that's all white with no text or other interface elements. Hovering over it causes the cursor to change from pointer to insertion cursor in areas you'd expect a text field, but clicking where you know a button is does not make it attempt to start a connection. Restarting seems to resolve this.

...so the situation has gotten weird.
