MySQL Bugs: #110637: MySQL80 service is not starting

Bug #110637	MySQL80 service is not starting

Version:	8.0.31.0	OS:	Windows (2019 Server)
Assigned to:	MySQL Verification Team	CPU Architecture:	Any (VM Image)

Description:
After installing MySQL 8.0.31, I configured the my.ini file. 
System and MySql were working fine. When System was restarted after a shutdown, the MySQL80 service would not restart, returning the message:
"The MySQL80 service on Local Computer started and then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they are not in use by other services or programs".

I never encountered this issue when using MySQL server version 8.0.28.

How to repeat:
Install MySQL Server 8.0.31 or 32. Modify settings in my.ini. Noticed that what triggers this error the most is when changing the path to the database root to a secondary drive. In one instance was able to start the service by changing the service's 'Log on as:' from the default Network Service account to Local System account.
Also tried using new my.ini file without success.

Error reported in window event viewer

Hello Paulus Zemaitis,

Thank you for the bug report.
Could you please let us know what exactly you modified the settings in my.ini?
