Mysql server: unable to connect to remote host. Directory loading failed

Question

The following message appears in the taskeng.exe console:

Unable to connect to the remote host. Directory loading failed

This seems to be related to manifestUpdate . Which updates the directory at a specific time:

Automatic updates

You can configure the MySQL Installer to automatically update the MySQL product catalog once a day. To enable this feature and set the update time, click the wrench icon on the installer toolbar.

The next window sets up automatic catalog updates. Enable or disable this feature, and set the hour.

So why am I getting this error?

I still do not quite understand what exactly. He is looking for possible updates to MySQL products?

Is it possible to disable the task to get rid of this error?

Answer 1

Look in the Windows Task Scheduler. On the left, open:

Task Scheduler Library \ MySQL \ Installer

Right-click in the ManifestUpdate entry and select "Disable."

Answer 2

This is a major resolution issue. Go to C:\ProgramData and right-click on the MySQL folder, go to the security tab under user groups and click "Edit", under the group and users select the user of your computer and select all marks in permission, application and close. It worked for me.
