MySQL Workbench Error: Could not acquire management access for administration

By Cryswerton SilvaIT Tutorial

I was having an error when going to the option Server > Server Status on MySQL Workbench on Windows 10.

The error message was the following:

Could not acquire management access
for administration
RuntimeError: Target host is configured
as Windows, but seems to be a different
OS. Please review the connection settings.

Solution

I managed to solve that problem by uninstalling both MySQL Workbench and MySQL Server.

And after that I’ve installed MySQL Worbench 8.0.22 and MySQL Server 8.0.22.

It seems like the problem was with the version 8.0.0 of the MySQL Workbench, but I’m not sure.

That’s just what worked for me and I’m sharing this hoping that it works for you as well.

After that the error message didn’t show up anymore.

I hope it works for you just like it worked for me, bro.

See you next time!
