'Android Studio won't open

I downloaded android studio 4.2 for windows x64 and can't get it to open. I have been troubleshooting for hours but nothing I've been finding online has helped. I have JAVA_HOME set properly and I have java version 16.0.1. I have already tried a full uninstall/reinstall. Someone told me to run the studio.batch file and here is the result:
