I have updated my Java to Java 10 but the game will still not launch, I've had this problem for a while now when I try to launch it shows this message:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: net/minecraft/client/main/Main : Unsupported major.minor version 52.0

does anyone know how to help? Also, My home screen shows this:

I've unistalled Java 10 and reinstalled it as Java 8 and am still getting the problem, thanks for trying to help though much appreciated
