Question
I'm using a MySQL client from a different machine. Could that cause error 10061 when testing with localhost?

Yes, if you've recently configured MySQL to only listen on localhost (127.0.0.1), attempting to connect from a remote machine will result in a connection error, which can manifest as 10061 when testing locally if your client is still configured to connect remotely. Ensure the bind-address is set correctly for your intended access method.
