Since today my workbench crash directly at startup.
I tried installing previous version 6.1, i have the same problem.

Error msg:

In the log:

15:42:36 [INF][      Workbench]: This is the first start of a new version. Doing some clean up.

Problem solved:

My env var Path was empty.
Put again c:\windows\system32 in path var and everything is ok.

You can close the case
