Minecraft: Unable to find valid certification path

[Karknos]

I cannot launch Minecraft on my Windows 10 laptop.  It's brand new, no third party software, I turn off the firewall when I try to connect.  I have completely uninstalled Java, using REVO, and the same with Minecraft, then doing fresh installs.  Still the same error:  Unable to find valid certification path to requested target.  I cannot find an answer through Google nor has Mojang been helpful in any way.  I need help, please.

Make sure the time on your computer is correct. If you have antivirus software installed try disabling it temporarily when launching the game

Remove ALL Java versions. Then install Java 8. Reboot your computer. Do not allow Minecraft to use anything related to Java in the settings on the launcher.

Thank you very much for the response.  Where do I find those settings?  Is that for Minecraft or within Java itself?

Digging around the two programs to the level I can understand, I noticed a discrepancy.  In Minecraft, the launcher is set for 1.8.0_25, but my version, according to Java is 1.8.0_101.  Could this be the problem?  How do I get MInecraft to look for 101?  Can I simply change the target in the Minecraft launcher?

I figured out what I had to do, but your suggestion has not worked.
