Upon running this service
"C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\bin\mysqld" --defaults-file="C:\ProgramData\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\my.ini" MySQL56
I get this error
windows could not start mysql56 service of local computer
error 1067 the process terminated unexpectedly

However running just mysqld.exe runs OK https://i.stack.imgur.com/935sb.png But it won't accept my saved passwords and databases..
Similar question mysql server does not start! suggests that it's a directory issue, I've checked all the directories and they are exactly what they should be like (i guess..) http:\i.imgur,com/t76KGR0.png (link: need 10+ reps)
Also, it was working just 10 days ago. I haven't messed with anything I can remember...
