Class java.xml parser is causing my app not to work

I am very new to Android studio and I am modifying a project for MQTT for io.adafruit. I was getting a warning about chrome not being able to load so I tried to update it and in so doing updated Android Studio and then started changing some suggested warnings. Now I get the following error and nothing will work.

Provider for class java.xml parser.DocumentBuilderFactory cannot be created. I have tried deleting Android Studio as well as the SDK and tried to reinstall them without much luck.

Here in my build.gradle(Project

buildscript {
    ext.kotlin_version = '1.5.21'
    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.3.0'
        classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.7.10"

        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()
    }
}

task clean(type: Delete) {
    delete rootProject.buildDir
}

and my build.gradle(Module

plugins {
    id 'com.android.application'
    id 'kotlin-android'
}

android {
    compileSdkVersion 33

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.example.mqttkotlinsample"
