At the top right, click on "Change Settings".
Scroll around until you find any app labeled "Java(TM) Platform SE binary" and make sure both "Public" and "Private" boxes are ticked, along with the left boxes. Keep in mind there may be multiple of them.

Restart Minecraft and try connecting to your server.
