Hi
I have a new installation of the latest version of mysql for Windows 11, running on a new machine. For the installation, I used defaults for everything, so all the directories are in default locations, with default permissions.
Everything worked fine until I rebooted my computer. Now, mysql attempts to start and then immediately shuts down. The relevant error message in the log file reads:
2022-09-14T16:50:21.079657Z 0 [ERROR] [MY-010326] [Server] Fatal error: Can't open and lock privilege tables: Table 'mysql.db' doesn't exist
2022-09-14T16:50:21.080223Z 0 [ERROR] [MY-010952] [Server] The privilege system failed to initialize correctly. For complete instructions on how to upgrade MySQL to a new version please see the 'Upgrading MySQL' section from the MySQL manual.
2022-09-14T16:50:21.081304Z 0 [ERROR] [MY-010119] [Server] Aborting
2022-09-14T16:50:22.332994Z 0 [System] [MY-010910] [Server] C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\bin\mysqld.exe: Shutdown complete (mysqld 8.0.30) MySQL Community Server - GPL.

I've tried running mysqld --initialize to no avail. I've rechecked all the file permissions, and they remain default.
Can this installation be saved? If I reinstall, how can I tell the new installation where to find the database schema and contents I'd created?

Thanks!
