I run MySQL 5.6 since month and everything went well. Also the MySQL Workbench 6.
I receive two errors if I would like to see the \"Server Status\".
1st erro
I thought your MYSQl Service is not yet start.
Please Follow the below steps It works me like a charm.
windows + R - Type services.msc Press 'Enter' you could see many services . There is a service called MYSQl56 service if it's Disabled please Start that Service then once again restart the workbench.
