Hi نصير أحمد ذاهد,

Did you install and configure a network loopback adapter before installing OBIEE?

This is a mandatory step when you install OBIEE on Windows, otherwise it will stop working when you restart it and the IP address of the server changes.

Here's the official documentation of what Gianni is saying:

You did install OBIEE 12c on a Windows 10 OS?

Drop your vm, create a new one with a supported OS and reinstall. OBIEE 12c is NOT certified to run on Windows desktop versions. The forum is full of threads of people who "successfully" installed the tool but it just doesn't work (the lucky one saw it once till a reboot, the others never saw it running).
