The MySQL Command Line Client Flashback or Blinking issue is generally a compatibility problem with the Windows system. This issue is often seen when trying to open MySQL from the command line on a Windows machine, but instead of opening normally, it flashes/blinks and then disappears.
Here are the steps to resolve it:
Run as Administrator: Right-click on the MySQL Command Line Client icon and choose "Run as administrator". This will give it the necessary permissions to run correctly.
Compatibility Settings: If running as an administrator doesn't solve the problem, you can try changing the compatibility settings:
Command Prompt: If none of the above solutions work, you can open MySQL through the command prompt:
Windows + R
, typing cmd
, and then hitting Enter
.cd
command. For instance: cd C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.7\bin
mysql -u root -p
. Replace root
with your username if it's different. After hitting Enter
, you'll be asked for your password.Remember to replace the paths and versions with the ones applicable to your MySQL installation.
