Please read the Suggested Bug Fix, as this works....or you will be in a loop of "wait for the DB to start?!?"
Choose one of these database management tools:
mysql cli (Fastest (recommended since we use some very big files))
HeidiSQL (Best for beginners)
MySQL Workbench (already installed if you chose to install full MySQL package)
DBeaver (Multiplattform Database Management Tool)
Try connecting to your MySQL instance that you installed above. Depending on the program, you may be looking for "Connect to Host" or "New Connection" or "Session Manager".
Create a new connection/session. The Hostname/IP address of "127.0.0.1" or "localhost" is fine if you installed MySQL on the same computer that you installed HeidiSQL or SQLYog. Simply fill in your root // whatever password and you should now be able to connect to your database
