MySql Notifier not able to start/stop/restart MySql Service

I've installed MySql 5.6 with Workbench and MySql Notifier.

I can start/stop the MySql Service ( Service name : MySql56 ) from Services.msc. But I'm not able to start/stop it from MySql Notifier. I'm having the following error.

enter image description here

I don't what's going on there. I can confirm that a service named "MySql56" is present and it starts/stops successfully from services.msc

My system is Windows 7 Professional 64 bit

Why MySQL service is not starting?

Even with correct ownership, MySQL might fail to start up if there is other security software running on your system that manages application access to various parts of the file system. In this case, reconfigure that software to enable mysqld to access the directories it uses during normal operation.

What happened MySQL Notifier?

MySQL Notifier is now covered under Oracle Lifetime Sustaining Support. For more information, see https://www.mysql.com/support/eol-notice.html. For notes detailing the changes in each release, see the MySQL Notifier Release Notes. For legal information, see the Legal Notices.

How do I stop MySQL Notifier?

Taskbar -> System Tray -> MySQL Notifier, Select Actions -> Options Uncheck the "Automatically check for updates every x weeks".

You must access to location: %APPDATA%\Oracle\MySQL Notifier\settings.config (C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Roaming\Oracle\MySQL Notifier\settings.config) and change ServiceName to MySQL56 in settings.config file

I had this same issue a few days ago but I figured out a way to fix it, hopefully it works for you as well:

right click on MySQL Notifier -> Actions -> Manage Monitored Items

highlight the MySQL56 entry and click the delete button

click the add button -> windows service, scroll down the list till you find MySQL56, highlight it and click ok

you can now close the menu and you should be able to start/restart/stop your server as before
