Hi,
I myself somehow figured it out. Hence closing this ticket.
Thanks

I'm having the same issue. Workbench just sits there. The server is running, I can connect to it with the mysql command line tool (debian installed on windows connecting to localhost), and I can get Java code to connect and query the DB.

I've tried restarting the server. I've tried restarting the laptop. I've tried restarting and reinstalling workbench.

There are many connections stuck in TIME_WAIT. And I mean *many*. Thousands of connections just sitting there.

Installed versions of Server, Shell and Workbench are 8.0.21.

In addition Workbench shows an error when I click on 'cancel':

Cannot access a disposed object.
Object name: 'HUDForm'.

I'd also like to point out that the 'Report Bug' button takes me to a login form instead of a 'thank you' page.
