Jvm crash on windows 2019 machine on JRE upgrade to 8u261

Our application uses JRE8u144. We want to upgrade it to JRE8u261. On upgrade, when I install the application (as an exe file that also installs jre as part of installation ) on Windows 2019, there is a JVM crash. The same application installs and runs fine on Windows 10 and 2016.

I tried debugging the jvm crash logs and it seems to be related to windows events. I commented out the code that raises windows events and it seems to run fine. Does anyone know of compatibility issues between JRE8 and Windows 2019?

Edit: Sorry for not including the details. Below is the jvm crash log. On googling how to debug the below log, I found that it refers to a "Null pointer" exception. The java code that calls SystemEventNativeImpl.dll is a method that is raising a windows event. I checked the windows event message details and that has not changed. I am new to DLL files. Please let me know if you need any specific detail.
