I get this message everytime i try to open it despite reinstalling it several times as recommended.

I'm assuming you're running the Windows executable release in the .zip . Use the JAR release, instead. Install a JDK first. I recommend BellSoft's OpenJDK, which you would want to click "Java 17 LTS" and then the first Windows download. If you don't want BellSoft for some reason, I also like Azul Zulu OpenJDK (Get the .msi file, not the .zip). Then once the JDK is installed, double-click the JAR you downloaded of Liftoff.

If there's still an error, make sure you aren't using an ARM Windows machine (such as a "Snapdragon" processor, or many Microsoft Surface tablet/laptops), because those still aren't officially supported by libGDX. Most PCs don't use ARM processors, currently.
