I just installed Artifactory OSS 7.84.15 on a Windows Server 2019 IBM cloud machine. I only changed 4 options: I changed 2 default ports that conflict with other Tomcat installs on this machine, I changed the database used to the embedded Derby because this is just a proof of concept, and I configured the IP to 127.0.0.1 because I saw it use an IPv6 address somewhere during troubleshooting and I read on a different question that might cause issues.
When starting Artifactory, whether that's as a service or from the artifactory.bat file, after a minute or two of waiting I end up with the below error in my log output:

I've tried Googling this error and I didn't find anything relevant. The weird thing is that earlier on the day, I tried to use Artifactory Pro, and that would start without any problems. Reason I stopped using it was because we didn't have a Pro license to install and we had to swap to the OSS version.
From the log snippet provided, the JFconnect micro-service seems to have failed to start.
As far as I know, this service should not block Artifactory from loading and starting, but rather just show the expected exception. If Artifactory is failing to start this is a potential bug.
Regardless, I would recommend you check if disabling this microservice resolves your issue. You can do that by editing the system.yaml configuration file:
jfconnect:
enabled: false
