I had a MySQL server on my machine, and then I got the helpful free Windows 10 upgrade.
I updated to Windows 10 and then I tried to start the server again after a reboot and I cannot get it to work. I am using the command in Command Prompt:
C:\> "C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1\bin\mysqld" --console
I get an error that this is not a recognised command. I navigated to that folder and no "mysqld" file exists, but this command worked before to start the server.
What should I do to get the server up again without uninstalling and reinstalling?

Any messages when you try to start it? Does event viewer show any crash information? – Dave – 2015-09-14T12:38:37.760
1Did you choose to keep everything? Have you tried to simply install MySQL again? – Ramhound – 2015-09-14T12:49:27.907
