restart mysql server on windows 7

Question

How do I restart MySQL on Windows 7?

I\'m using HeidiSql as a front end and there\'s no option in there.

The only other things I have is the MySQL 5.5 comma

Answer 1

Open the command prompt and enter the following commands:

net stop MySQL   
net start MySQL

the MySQL service name maybe changes based on the version you installed. In my situation, MySQL version is MySQL Server 5.7. So I use the following command

net stop MySQL57   
net start MySQL57
