In my case  I had installed a new installation of MYSQL 8  and WORKBENCH etc  so that I could then work on an old WordPress website  No matter what I did  it wouldn t work  Kept getting  quot ERROR ESTABLISHING CONNECTION quot  etc  Thinking that it was maybe something to do with WordPress since it is old   I tried a basic manual connection with PHP and nothing  Eventually  I figured out that I had to downgrade MySQL  So I went back to MYSQL installer  found the server  and downgraded MYSQL from 8 0 back to 5 5 As soon as I did that  everything worked

If you have already created a localhost connection and its still showing can not connect then goto taskbar and find the MySQL notifier icon  Click on that and check whether your connection name is running or stopped  If its stopped then start or restart  I was facing the same issue but it fixed my problem

I know that there are a lot of answers to this question already already but i wanted to share my experience as none of the answers provided fixed this issue for me   After about a day of exploring different solutions I believe the issue was that I have recently installed XAMPP and it was interfering with the MySQL workbench  I have tried changing the port numbers however this hasn t helped  and it seems that both programs are sharing configuration files  Repairing MySQL in the Control Panel didn t resolve it  so now I am uninstalling MySQL and plan to reinstall it  Another potential solution maybe to uninstall XAMPP however the config files may either be deleted  or left in the xampp folder instead of the MySQL folder by doing so

Slightly different case  but it may help someone   I followed the instructions to create a secondary database instance  and I had to clone the ini file as part of that  It was failing to start the service  with the same error  Turns out notepad exe had re-encoded the cloned ini file as UTF8-BOM  and MySQL  version 8  refused to work with it  Removing the BOM fixed the problem

I was facing the same problem  but what I did not realise is that I did not have the MySQL Server installed  You must simply install the MySQL Server  In order to install the MySQL server  you must run the  quot MySql Installer quot  and then press the  quot Add quot  button and then choose the  quot MySQL Server quot  in the tree  After doing that  run you workbench again and you ll notice that there ll already be a connection configured  Hopefully  you ll be able to create a new connection or as many connections as you want
