Description:
When launching MySQL Workbench, an error dialog appears with the message "MySQL Workbench has encountered a problem. Parameter is not valid." The application fails to start normally. The issue occurs immediately after opening MySQL Workbench.

How to repeat:
Start MySQL Workbench.
Wait for the application to load.
An error dialog appears stating "Parameter is not valid."
The application does not function correctly.

Suggested fix:
Investigate whether corrupted user configuration files or invalid startup parameters are causing the exception. The application should handle invalid parameters gracefully and provide more detailed error information.

Posted by developer:

This issue applies to the legacy MySQL Workbench 8.x implementation that is no longer supported or maintained.
MySQL Workbench 26.7 is a complete rewrite using a new technology stack and does not use the affected legacy implementation.
Therefore, this issue is not applicable to the current MySQL Workbench product and as such is closed.
