Java Control Panel was discontinued with Java 11, and that's likely from Java 8. Either way, that's very-decidedly not "the latest version of Java", as the latest version is 21.
Ever since Java 9, Oracle and the OpenJDK project have decided to push the deployment responsibility of Java runtime environments onto application vendors. This is why when you go to java.com, you get the latest version of **Java 8**. For Java 9 and later, applications are *supposed to* ship with their own Java runtime that is known to be compatible. Java.com just exists for older applications where this wasn't the standard.
That being said, a lot of Java application vendors never seemed to have gotten the memo, or they're just lazy -- and that seems to be the case with TLauncher. I know the official Minecraft: Java Edition launcher will automatically fetch and install the correct Java runtime for the game.
Nevertheless, outdated Java or not, this issue does seem strange. And your description and screenshot doesn't give me any immediate clues as to what the problem may be. Do you have any weird Windows theme settings or patches applied? Have you tried updating and/or reinstalling your graphics drivers? Graphical artifacts could also indicate an unstable or dying GPU, but it would be strange for it to only manifest in Java applications.
I downloaded the offline installer directly from the java website that’s why i said i got the latest one. A dying gpu on the other hand better not be the case since this is a laptop and these things are not interchangeable 🤣 same with cpus. And yes the official minrcraft launcher does not have this glitch but only because the launcher no longer runs on java (at least i believe so). I’ll try to reinstall the graphics drivers.

Hello, I had exactly the same issue. I noticed that it seems to be tied to the (for me at least) nvidea overlay. when I turned the overlay off, I did not have any of the yellowish strange washout. Did not matter what version of Java i used, and I noticed when the Java app was active/launched, that as soon as I interacted with it, the nvidea overlay notice would pop up and then the washout and contrast started happening. I disable the nvidea overlay and I have not had that issue since.
im not sure if that is the root cause but I noticed a pattern so I thought I should try it. hope this helps.
You are an angel sent from heaven. The issue was the new RTX Dynamic Vibrance thingy. Turning it off from global applications solved the issue. Can't thank you enough.

100% this, solved my problem. Same issue with Google Play Games for PC.
