1. Start your MySQL server service from MySQL home directory. Your one is C:\MYSQL\bin\ so choose this directory in command line and type: NET START MySQL
   (After that you can open Windows Task Manager and verify in Processes tab is mysqld.exe process running. Maybe your problem is here.)
2. Type: mysql -u user -p [pressEnter]
3. Type your password [pressEnter]

or make a start.bat file:

1. add C:\MYSQL\bin\ to your PATH
2. write a start.bat file
My start.bat file has only two lines like below:
net start MySQL
mysql -u root -p

Good luck!
