MySQL Bugs: #102690: Could not acquire management access for administration (Windows)

Bug #102690	Could not acquire management access for administration (Windows)
Submitted:	22 Feb 2021 19:53	Modified:	1 Mar 2021 12:53
Reporter:	Storm Fire	Email Updates:
Status:	Can't repeat	Impact on me:	None
Category:	MySQL Workbench	Severity:	S1 (Critical)
Version:	8.0.23	OS:	Windows (Windows 10 Pro v1909 in Spanish)
Assigned to:		CPU Architecture:	Any (x64)

Description:
When I try to access the Server Status menu, Startup/Shutdown, Server Logs, Options Files, Performance Reports and Performance Schema Setup the Workbench throws this error:

Could not acquire management access for administration:

RuntimeError: Target host is configured as Windows, but seems to be a different OS. Please review the connection settings.

This has no sense because the server is being executed in the same computer (Windows)

How to repeat:
I don't think there's a particular way to reproduce this bug. It might be something to do with the version of Windows or paths, I don't know.

I have seen a bug report of another person and the MySQL Verification Team said that they didn't see any issues doing this. This is why I say I don't know how to reproduce it. Depends on something I don't know but it's there.

Link to that report: Bug #102310 (https://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=102310)

Suggested fix:
I don't know. It seems to be something that occurs depending of some version or something.

I didn't select the server that I use but the settings for the connection are the same.

Please try to re-install with Repair option. Thanks.

How do I do that? I have reinstalled the Workbench and Server with the installer I have installed, but I'm not sure if it was downloaded correctly.

To repair see prior attached screenshot.

It didn't work.

Hello Storm Fire,

Thank you for the feedback. 
I still cannot repeat this issue at my end. Thanks.
