MySQL instance lost when upgrading to Windows 10
You can manually put the service back as follows:
STEP 01) Open the Windows CLI as Administrator
STEP 02) cd C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\MySQL 5.6\bin
or wherever mysqld.exe
resides
STEP 03) Reinstall the service
mysqld --install
That's it.
I have mentioned this before in ServerFault and DBA StackExchange
GIVE IT A TRY !!!
All you need to do is reconfigure your current server. A nice step by step tutorial including screenshots can be found here, you do like this:
- First, open the application MySQL Installer – Community and click on Reconfigure
- Setup TCP/IP Port Number and Firewall
- Check Configure MySQL Server as a Windows Service and also check Start the MySQL Server at System Startup
- Apply the server configuration and your done!
