[Opensim-users] Weird issue with mysqld service restarting after Windows 8.1 upgrade

[Chris]

First thing I would do before attempting to fix the issue is make a 
backup of your database; Once you've done that; check your environment 
variables in System Properties > Advanced Tab > Environment Variables 
and look under System Variables for Path, edit it and and see if 
possibly the path to /mysql install path here/bin hasn't been removed 
due to the upgrade. If it's not there then try putting that back in and 
reboot your computer. If worse comes to worse I suppose you could 
reinstall MySQL and then restore from your database backup if necessary 
(not sure if it would get overwritten or not from a reinstall).
