[HAVE CHECKED KNOWLEDGE BASE] Gradle issue when opening workspace

I HAVE ALREADY TRIED EVERYTHING ON THE KNOWLEDGE BASE/COMMON FIXES PAGE

I have searched everywhere for a fix, but for some reason I can't run gradle. I get this error (https://pastebin.com/EGfieJyu) if I try to open or create a workspace. It doesn't even make sense because if I check the place where gradle is installed, in C:\Gradle and .mcreator\gradle\wrapper\dists, it is installed. The issue is not fixed even if I manually add the gradle bin in this folder. Here is a section of the error if you don't want to open pastebin:
