I have mysql server 5.6 installed on my system The service was starting properly on startup but after latest windows-10 update my web app could not connect to mysql, nor did the sqlYog or mysql workbench So I went to services there I could not found the mysql56 service and not mysql won't start unless I go to bin and click on mysqld.exe even after that there no mysql service in services but sqlYog and web app is now connected
Can anyone please tell me how t solve this issue permanently I had used msi installer to install the service and reinstalling it again is something I really want to avoid!

This problem happens also to me on every major Windows update : Some applications stop working, and always the same ones. Windows always disables them when upgrading.
These are all applications that replace some Windows features or return features that Microsoft phased out or that compete with Microsoft products. I would guess that Microsoft does not like them, or it might perhaps be a honest false positive by Windows Defender.
I'm sorry to say that the only solution I have found is to reinstall or repair these products, since crucial components were removed. I agree that this is very annoying.
With at least one such product, its latest version was no longer removed by the upgrade to Windows 10 version 2004, so it might be that its developers have removed what has annoyed Windows. Always using the latest version of these products might in the end get rid of this annoyance.
If you do not want to re-install mysql, check inControl Panel > Programs and Features if right-click on it offers a Repair or Change option. Such an option might fix the problem without a total re-installation.
