How do I restart HiediSQL?

Just like the title,
How exactly do I "restart" HiediSQL?
I looked in my process and nothing about HiediSQL was in there.
I'm asking because I'm getting the "Can't connect to MySQL server on "127.0.0.1"(10061)
Someone help please! :]

HeidiSQL.exe is normally started via your start menu: All programs > HeidiSQL

For fixing that connection problem you should try the tons of postings wrt this topic, e.g. this one.

HeidiSQL is one thing and MySQL is another thing. You don't have to restart HeidiSQL: you have to start MySQL. Because HeidiSQL is a graphical front-end for MySQL: if the latter is not even running, there's not much you can do with the former.

By the way... Have you even installed MySQL in your computer?

I'll assume lol ye means Yes, I have installed MySQL in my computer, but I don't know how to launch it.

Find somewhere in Start-> Programs-> MySQL an icon labelled MySQL System Tray Monitor. When you click on it you'll see a gear icon in the taskbar notification area. If the icon is red then you need to right-click on it and select Start Instance.
