Re: on Windows 10 Mysql 5.7: Mysqld command fails. Can't find \data directory

The forward slash is OK. If you MUST use backslash then use two \\.
Backslash is the escape character.
That said, the data path has a space in it, so you'll need quotes around the string. Datadir also needs a trailing slash 
datadir="C:/ProgramData/MySQL/MySQL Server 5.7/Data/"

Note that MySQL service is owned by NETWORK_SERVICE, so you'll need to make sure that NETWORK_SERVICE has full privileges on your chosen datadir.

Good luck,
Barry.
