CPU process utilization on database server reach 99% usage - mysql

I have a MySQL database server on Windows Server 2016. I've been changing the configuration on my.ini file to reduce the burden on the server-side. but it still uses the CPU process over 99%.
I also include the content from my.ini for my database server configuration.

Slow mysql queries

I'm running mysql server on 2 different hardware machines.
Hardware spects are as followed:
The first on is a converted PC:
I7-6700 3.4GHz 16GB RAM
Windows Server 2016
The other one:
E5-2670 v3 2.30GHz (2 Processors) 4GB RAM
Windows Server 2016
Every query takes a very long time to be executed (simple "SELECT * FROM tbl" takes about 4-5 seconds. not to mention heavier queries).
The site itself, without MySql works fine (PHP).
I tried changing some configurations in my.ini according to guides i found on google, But unfortunately nothing worked and most changes I tried caused it to stop working completely til I changed them back.

I would greatlly appreciate any help anyone can offer me. Thanks in advence.
Several things I can tell so far:
If you have a lot more reads then writes, consider enabling query cache (values are just examples in below config, you've got 0):
query_cache_limit = 1M
query_cache_size = 8M
Also, in the situation when you've got a lot of reads but still some writes, consider changing the table engines to InnoDb, because it works with row-level data locks instead of MyISAM table-level locks.
Create indexes for the most common queries you are running. To check the top queries, you might want to enable the general query log:
log = /var/log/mysql/mysql.log
Add caching on the application level. In case all your optimizations do not really help, consider changing the application code to use Memcache, for instance, to cache the query results. If you're using an ORM, like Doctrine, this is acheived via configuration and can be done without drastic code changes.
Hope that helps.

InnoDb Table Crashing MySql on update

I have sql table for users that contains the following fields:
USERID INT(11)
PhoneNumber VARCHAR(8)
Password CHAR(32)
notified INT(1)
signin INT(1)
creation TIMESTAMP.
The engine is innoDB. When I insert one record, I can update it normally, but once the table consists of 2 or more records, any update will crash the table and shuts down MySQL Server. I tried to change the engine to MyIsam I got the same problem. When I changed the engine to MEMORY, everything works fine. I've been searching for months but in vain.
Please Advice!
Error Log:
Executing:
UPDATE `khalifeh`.`users` SET `notified`='1' WHERE `UserID`='7';
Operation failed: There was an error while applying the SQL script to
the database. ERROR 2013: 2013: Lost connection to MySQL server during

SQL Statement: UPDATE khalifeh.users SET notified='1' WHERE UserID='7'
Error Log from .err file:

This could be because you hit a bug. It is also possible that this binary
or one of the libraries it was linked against is corrupt, improperly built,
or misconfigured. This error can also be caused by malfunctioning hardware.
Attempting to collect some information that could help diagnose the problem.
As this is a crash and something is definitely wrong, the information
collection process might fail.
key_buffer_size=8388608
read_buffer_size=65536
max_used_connections=5
max_threads=151
thread_count=2
connection_count=2
It is possible that mysqld could use up to
key_buffer_size + (read_buffer_size + sort_buffer_size)*max_threads = 58345 K bytes of memory
Hope that's ok; if not, decrease some variables in the equation.

How much RAM do you have? (I may have further refinement.)
We really NEED to know if you have 32MB or 32GB of memory on your 2008 R2 server, please.
The error log provided indicates mysqld could use up to 58345 K bytes of memory. If you only have 32KB of memory, this configuration will never run.
Some (likely many) variables will need to be decreased to be successful.
mysqld apparently died trying to create another thread. Implementing Rick James suggested changes may make your instance capable of surviving this update.

MySQL on Localhost refusing connection

Today I installed MySQL Server, MySQL Workbench and MySQL Notifier. When I start the MySQL Server a connection is getting created automatically at localhost:3306 with user root. For testing purpose I also set the password to be root.
I can connect to that localhost:3306 with the MySQL Workbench and with it I created new users.
I cant connect to localhost:3306 with any other application, I cant even ping it. The Status in the MySQL Notifier is: MySQL#localhost:3036 - Refusing Connections.
Why that? Why can I connect with the workbench but with nothing else. Why is the MySQL Server refusing connections by default? How can I solve this?

Lower case file system MySQL on Windows

I'm trying to change lower case file system since phpmyadmin in variables but an error appears.
#1238 Variable lower_case_file_system is a read only variable.
Also, i have tried to put the follow text in my-default.ini inside MySql folder
lower_case_table_names=OFF
but neither works.
How can i do change the value?
lower_case_table_names in the mysql config accepts the 0..2 values
In your case you probably need to set lower_case_table_names=1
More details: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/server-system-variables.html#sysvar_lower_case_table_names
I already change the variable lower_case_table_names = 0 setting it in my.ini.
But the other variable lower_case_file_system i cannot change it.
My my.ini file is the follow:

MySQL 5.6.12 + SSD + Vista 64 bit very slow

We have recently switched our existing MySQL (XP 32 bit + HDD) to newer machine running on Vista 64 bit (16 GB RAM) and data storage is in SSD (Samsung Pro 840).
There is no data transfer as the data was retrieved from Unix server and replaced daily.
Instead the existing batch job was updated to point to the new server address.
But this batch job runs much slower i.e. 7 hours job becomes 15 hours.
Having SSD as data storage should improve IO but it is the reverse.
I have done some research and tweak my.ini configuration and none of these bring any improvement.
Resorted to load data infile and with smaller chunks, it has improved the performance back to 7 hours but still seeing no benefit from having SSD.
What I have done wrong? Please help.
Here is the my.ini file before change.
