I need to run MySQL Server on a new for me laptop. There's Windows 7. And MySQL have been installed on it. In order to verify this, I opened the Programs and Features window and saw it there:
But when I go to the Services to run it, I don't find it. It's absent there:
It's very strange for me. Why MySQL is not among the services? How can I run it? It's installed on this station. Any ideas?

The 2 most likely reasons are either a partially failed installation or that the service is blocked by a corporate Group Policy setting.
Are there any relevant messages in the Event Log?
You could try uninstalling completely and then reinstalling.

Install the service manually using a command similar to the following:
"C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.7\bin\mysqld" --install
Be sure to read the documentation carefully, since it goes into a lot more detail.
