MySQL not working after updating to Windows 8.1 [closed]
Closed. This question is off-topic . It is not currently accepting answers. Want to improve this question? Update the question so it's on-topic for Stack Overflow. Closed 5 years ago . Everything was working fine, I had Windows 8 and MySQL 5.6 workbench. Yesterday, I upgraded to Windows 8.1 which made the PC run better but messed up the MySQL. When I enter the workbench I can see my old connection but by clicking on it I get: Cannot Connect to Database Server Your connection attempt failed for user 'root' from your host to server at 127.0.0.1:3306:Can't connect to mysql server on '127.0.0.1'
