How to repeat:
Just starting the application causes this to me, 100% of the time. 6.0.8 works fine for me.

Both are working from an USB using the zip distribution.

Use the zip package only if you know what you are doing, since it will not do any checks for you. You very likely have not installed all prerequisites (in particular the VC++ runtime for the architecture you are using). So, I recommend to use the msi or, even better, MySQL installer for Windows to have do a correct installation of MySQL Workbench.
