Solution

You are NOT supposed to double click on it and expect a login window to maigically pop up. Instead, open a CMD terminal and launch it through command-line interface. Before trying the command, it would be better to make sure the path C:\xampp\mysql\bin is registered in the PATH system variable.Then try this in CMD:

mysql -u root -p
