I understand that this question has been asked alot of times before with and I have tried everyone of their solutions. It hasn't worked for me. To summarize I'm installing using the windows msi installer version 8.0.22.0 to install mysql. Everything goes fine in the installation until we get to the starting services part of the installation. There it gets stuck at starting server never advancing. I know that's due to the service not starting and I do the recommended step of running services.msc as a service. I'll also paste my error log that I got from the programdata/mysql/mysql server 8.0/ directory.
