I had these issues but all it took was a visit to Java and download the remove old java tool and ran it

install java version 1.8.0_221

re point JAVA_HOME in the Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\System\advanced system settings\environment Vaiables. to the updated Java directory C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_221

Run Spoon.bat

all is well in the world.

NewBee Issues with Spoon and getting started on Pentaho:

By default Spoon is reserving 2GB of RAM for Java, and you probably don't have enough RAM for that. If you open the spoon.bat file with a text editor you'll find a line with something similar to:

if "%PENTAHO_DI_JAVA_OPTIONS%"=="" set PENTAHO_DI_JAVA_OPTIONS="-Xms1024m" "-Xmx2048m" "-XX:MaxPermSize=256m"

You can adjust the -Xms1024m and -Xmx2048m to something like -Xms512m -Xmx1024m and see how it goes, but if you try to process a high amount of data with PDI you might run out of memory.
