I ran an sql via the mysql command prompt, but it was taking too long so I decided to stop it. I closed the window, but I could see in Task Manager that mysqld.exe was still using 50% of my CPU. I therefore ended that process via the task manager. But now I don’t know how to reconnect to MySQL. If I try to start a mysql command prompt again, I’m told that it can’t connnect. I also tried “net start MySQL” but it says that the service name is invalid. Last time, I ended up restarting my computer.

    I see two options: If you are using MySQL as a service then you must have killed the service. You should go to Start Menu -> Run… and then execute services.msc. Look for MySQL service there and start it.

    If you are not using MySQL as a service then you’ll have to look for the executable and execute it again.

    Note: If you got it working after a restart then I bet you’re running it is as a service set to start automatically.
