WorkBench would not be a service. The MySQL server should be. After you have the server running, follow the guidance at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/windows-start-service.html.

Again, in a command window navigate to the bin folder of the MySQL installation and run the command there. for a defaults-file argument use the path to the MySQL installation.

To simplify such tasks, add the full path to that bin folder to the Windows path; then you can call mysql executables from any folder.
