I'm having more or less the same issue but the same steps are doesn't seem to apply to my situation.
Basically i have a WAMP server on version 3.3.1, PHPadmin 5.2.1, the database is currently sitting on MySQL 5.7.31, our vulnerability management picked up that that version of MySQL needs to be patch, so i downloaded MySQL 5.7.42 x86 from and installed it, so currently in the C:\wamp\bin\mysql
