mysqltaskmanager

Why is mysql running when i am not using it?


I have used mySQL for a project in the past, and haven't used it for months. However, when i check my task manager 'mysql' is using about 100MB of RAM. This happens every times i reboot. Why is my sql running, or using memory when i don't need it. Is a server running in the background that i have to disable? For context i was using my SQL Workbench 8.0 when working on my project.

Solution

  • This will remove the MySQL Service.

    Note that You may need an elevated command line prompt, for that press WIN-X select Command Prompt (Admin)
