Description:
I've just installed mysql community installer and installed with it the MySQL Server 8.0.11 and MySQL Workbench 6.3.10 and some more products. I used to use xampp for php and unninstaled it to give the main port gate (3306) to workbench. But any connection I try to open or a new one I try to create won't work. The first connection I try to enter already gives me the "MySQL Workbench has encountered a problem. External component has thrown an exception..." and nothing happens for the rest I double-click and stuff. The same thing happens when creating a connection and testing its connection.

How to repeat:
When trying to connect to a connection or testing one when creating.

I've just unninstaled the previous and downloaded/installed this one from the site. Nothing changed.

Oh, it's the version 8.0. Right, so now it works, thanks, I understood by the logs :D
