MySQL workbench status "STARTING" not started - mysql

MySQL workbench refused to start. The status shown is "starting". I cannot stop it at all as there is no button where I can click. I tried to shut down my PC and wait for awhile but it still refused to start. The status remained starting. I look at other similar problem with me but it is not helpful enough. Anyone know what is the problem?
I am using Windows XP and MySQL Workbench 6.0 CE

According to the requirements-page of MySQL-Workbench here, it states under the section "Requirements for Windows" the following:
Windows 7 and above
And there is also a note:
MySQL Workbench 6.1 supports earlier versions of Windows, including Vista
But it doesn't sound like XP is still supported.
Also, you really shouldn't be using XP anymore right now. Seriously.

WAMP Not Starting

I'm trying to get started with WAMP server on a Windows 10 computer. When I try to launch the WAMP application on the computer, I get an error message that says This application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b).
The WAMP icon in the taskbar tray is orange, with 2 of 3 services running.
I am still able to access the WAMP dashboard through localhost in my browser.
I've gone through and installed all the required Visual C++ redistributables to no avail.
I've enabled both the .NET frameworks.
I've installed Microsoft DirectX.
I've restarted the computer.
I don't have Skype.
Running as an administrator.
Some of the things I tried might be completely useless, I was just watching a few YouTube videos about how to resolve this error.
It says in 'services.msc' that it's mySQL that isn't running. Only MariaDB and Apache appear in services.msc, but I'm still able to access phpMyAdmin
Does anyone know what could be the issue? I'm just about at the stage of uninstalling WAMP and starting again, or maybe trying XAMPP instead.
UPDATE: I reinstalled WAMP entirely, and now I have a green icon in the taskbar, with all services running, however I am still not able to open the WAMP application as per the above question. Can I use WAMP without using the desktop client?

mySQL 64 Bit Windows Compatibility Issue

I am currently having an issue with mySQL. The installation process seemed to have proceeded rather smoothly, but I run into an error whenever I attempt to start or shut down the server. The only way I can seem to start up the server is by reinstalling mySQL, and the only way I can shut it down is through the task manager.
Clicking on the "Stop (start) Server" button in the mySQL workbench gives me the following error:
Unsupported 16 bit application.
The program or feature "\??\C:\watcom-1.3\binw\sc.exe" cannot start or run due to incompatibility with 64 bit versions of Windows. Please contact the software vendor to ask if a 64 bit Windows compatible version is available.
I've tried downloading a 64 bit version of watcom, but this has not solved my problem. I can't seem to figure out exactly what went wrong here, and would appreciate any advice.
I've attached a link below in case you'd like to see the original error message.

How to get MySQL server working after OSX Yosemite upgrade?

After I upgraded my Mac from Mavericks OSX to Yosemite, my local Apache and MySQL server setup did not work anymore. Thanks to Apache localhost/~username/ not working I just got the Apache server working but my Joomla application now indicates it can't access the MySQL database; neither can the Phpmyadmin tool.
How to fix this? I've seen instructions for installing MySQL for Yosemite (https://www.computersnyou.com/3376/setup-apache-php-mysql-macosx-10-10-yosemite/) but I'm not sure whether that's the best way forward as my Joomla application still needs to access the existing MySQL db information? E.g., I don't want to lose my existing saved database info of various web applications....
If you had a working native version of mysql working on Mavericks, the mysql preference pane should be still visible in the preferences, just click on the preference pane and start mysql.
Only problem is that mysql does not auto-start on boot, this can be solved by following these steps: https://stackoverflow.com/a/26465743/580173
Just Start MySQL Server! It worked for me.

MySQL5.6 stuck on the process " attempting to start service "

I got a community server version of MySQL5.6 for windows7 32 bit.
and also downloaded windows installer for the same windows version.
Everything was prepared correctly.
I saw on a blog giving me a step-by-step manual for installing MySQL 5.6 on winodws7 32bit.
I did the instruction accordingly and it always stops processing in the phrase of starting service. I completely don't know what the problem is.
I googled it for like three hours and got nothing relevant to this problem.
It never processes any further without any kind of alerts, no matter how much I wait.
Please help me out.
My OS
Windows7 Ultimate K 32bit, Service Pack1
TURN OFF WINDOWS FIREWALL COMPLETELY BEFORE INSTALLING
This was one of the only threads I could find on this issue and the current answers did not cut the mustard for me.
MySQL 5.6.21, both x86 and x64, did not want to get past "Starting Server" and would give me the "MySQL install taking longer than expected" message.
I tried all of the registry cleaner, folder deletions, etc to no avail.
I am running Windows 7 x64 and I finally decided to check the event viewer to find this:
0x80070422 turns out to be some unspecified firewall error and boom, it struck me like lightning.
I hope this post helps future visitors!
Have you installed other version of MySQL before? I have experienced this case ,but I installed MySQL5.5 and uninstalled it. I solved it by clearing regedit and deleting the folder of MySQL in the directory(C:\ProgramData.This directory is hidden by default in Windows.),then reinstalled it.
Follow this link http://tadeparti.com/pages/?page_id=808.
And do remember to delete everything under the C:\program files\mysql folder, including the odbc stuff if you have.

Fresh MySQL Workbench install not responding on Mac OSX Lion

I have a brand new Macbook Pro with Lion (10.7.4) installed and MySQL (5.5.24). The CLI works fine but when I install MySQL Workbench (5.2.40) the UI is unresponsive.
The only response I can get is the Manage Connections will highlight and allow me to select it when the mouse is about an inch above it's correct location.
I can create a new connection as normal and connect to the DB but cannot close the tab.
This behaviour doesn't work with the Data Modelling or Server Administration section.
I'm pretty familiar with MySQL Workbench on Linux but this Mac problem has me flummoxed.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
I had the same problem and was googling for a solution - finding your post as a result. Meanwhile, got the solution myself. Go to /Applications and open info for MySQLWorkbench.app and check there "Open in Low Resolution". It worked for me (a fresh Macbook Pro/Retina#1920x1200).
