Description:
when i start my Mysql Workbench it says :- 

"Error while loading application state - 
   The file C:\Users\admin\AppData\Roaming...wb_state.xml could not be loaded
   :uanble to parse xml file C:\Users\admin\AppData\Roaming...wb_state.xml. "

I have the file present in the mentioned directory. 

Note:- I tried removing it , it still doesn't work and then again pasting it also doesn't make any difference 

How to repeat:
Try opening the workbench and it shows the error

Thank you for the bug report. I couldn't repeat, which exactly version of WorkBench 8.0.XX and exactly OS are you running it?.

Since wb_state.xml might be corrupted, I've been able to resolve this by:
1. Navigate to %AppData%\Roaming\MySQL\Workbench
2. Replace wb_state.xml with a healthy install version.
3. Restart and check if other files are corrupted (same folder)
