Description:
Upon re-establishing a connection (under MySQL Connections), MySQL Workbench 8.0.16 would produce an error:
MySQL Workbench Unexpected Error
MySQL Workbench has encountered a problem
Parameter is not valid.
We are sorry for the inconvenience.....
This continued after restarting Workbench, as well as after restarting Windows 10.
The fix was to uninstall Workbench and reinstall it (the same version, 8.0.16).
How to repeat:
This problem did not seem to have a trigger, but once the problem had surfaced, it did not go away on its own. The uninstallation of MySQL Workbench was the solution.
Suggested fix:
You might evaluate the wb log, although I do not see anything obvious.
