Restart MySQL Server on Windows

Restarting the MySQL server on Windows is a very easy operation. MySQL is installed in Windows as a service, so if we restart that service, the MySQL server will restart.

Follow the few simple steps to restart MySQL:

  • First of all, open Run from the Windows search bar or press the Windows+r keys:

    Open Run

  • Type services.msc in Run and click Ok:

    Open Services

  • Now look for MySQL:

    MySQL Service

  • Right-click on MySQL and click Restart.
  • After clicking Restart, MySQL will start processing the restart:

    MySQL Restarted

  • Once the process is finished, MySQL will be restarted successfully.

The above process is done on Windows 10. For previous versions, the steps will also be the same.
