Re: MySQL 8 Windows Service stops, standalone is fine

[William Harrelson]

From the command line, you ran the exact command used by the service, and the server keeps running, accepts connections?
--Yes, that's correct, exact same command on command line as on service start. Yes, keeps running and accept connections, WordPress on top appears to work flawlessly.

Those times correspond exactly to when the server "didn't start" as you say?
--yes

When you start the service, MySQL appears in the Task Manager process list then disappears?
--yes

What does the Windows event log say about it?

--event log at that time:
Faulting application name: mysqld.exe, version: 8.0.25.0, time stamp: 0x6082efcd
Faulting module name: mysqld.exe, version: 8.0.25.0, time stamp: 0x6082efcd

Faulting package-relative application ID:

which appears to be STATUS_STACK_BUFFER_OVERRUN but I don't know what to do about that.

What does services.msc say about the service
- sc querex wampstackMySQL returns:
SERVICE_NAME: wampstackMySQL
