Description:
It pops up the following error box when I try to access my database.

http://screencast.com/t/zU3PDd5Ou78

Workbench was installed and working properly prior to Win 10 upgrade from Win 7 Pro. Error started immediately after Win 10 upgrade.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled Workbench, with no effect.

How to repeat:
Launch workbench,  click on one of my database connections, it shows the dialog for "opening SQL editor", then immediately the error box appears.  "MySQL Workbench has encountered a problem"  "The type initializer for 'HtmlRenderer.Utils.FontsUtils' threw and exception."

I found the thread about a recompiled dll, and grabbed it and it works now.  It's a workaround, obviously the DLL should be fixed in the installer.  But I'm operational again. :-)
