Config file settings not picked up

[fintan guihen]

In my "my.ini" file in "C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6", I placed the following line:

performance_schema=off

I then restarted the mySQL Service so it can pick up the new configuration.
After restart, when i query the performance_Schema status, i can see it is still up:


SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'performance_schema';

Value
ON



Any idea what im doing wrong here?
