Today I received a notification from my MacUpdater that there is a new Java version. I didn’t even know that this on my Mac. I can get to the control panel in the screenshot saying the same, but when I click on “update now” nothing happens (I guess some kind of installer should pop up). What should I do?

Not standard, but easier, try using sdkman. More on reddit.com

Use these tools if you find them convenient, but know that a lot of effort has gone into making the JDK not require any setup, nor does it have any notion of "environment". You can set JAVA_HOME, you can leave JAVA_HOME pointed at a symbolic link and change that -- this is what SDKMAN does anyway -- or you can do nothing and just run java from its JDK directory -- it will do the right thing on its own. That's how the JDK was designed to work. Such tools add an unnecessary layer of internal persisted state, and unlike the language runtimes that inspired them, they are something that the JDK was specifically designed to avoid.
