MySQL Workbench Visual Explain not working - mysql

I am trying to see the visual explain plan of my query in mysql workbench. But when I click on execution plan it shows tabular plan in default when I change the plan to Visual Plan; nothing happens and it keeps on displaying tabular plan.
I have mySQL 10 and Workbench 8.0.18.
I have surfed internet alot but found only one solution to upgrade mysql and workbench. I did but still same issue..
Can anyone suggest what is the reason behind that?

Thank you for the support, I have resolved the problem now. I was having MySQL Server 5.5 which does not support json. Thats why, Visual Explain plan was not available. Now Upgrading to 8.0 version worked things out for me..
You have to download a mysql installer and execute, and click on 'Add' and select mysql version from there. Afterwards, it will ask for configurations and you will be able to access that version in workbench after installation.
Thanks alot..

MySQL workbench crashes whenever I try and access a table

I'm trying to learn how to use MySQL. I installed the latest version of MySQL and MySQL workbench, however every time I try and access a table I've made the app immediately just crashes. The error report makes no sense to me.
I'm using a macbook air m1 and I've double checked I have the correct versions installed.
Is this a common issue and does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks
I was advised to try reinstalling MySQL, which I did and there was no improvement. I've tried restarting my machine, but I have no idea what to try other than that.

Tables and views keep on fetching in MYSQL

I am fairly new to MYSQL. I just today installed MYSQL on my Windows 10 computer for my personal learning. I installed mySQL workbench 8.0 and created some tables in the database. But the problem I am facing is the tables, views, stored procedures and functions are keep on fetching. I see some solutions online to run a linux command to resolve the problem. But mine is on windows and not sure where and how to execute the command. Can somebody please help me resolving the problem I am facing with MYSQL.
Just restart your MySQL workbench and problem is solve.
I think those files were written in macOS. When it loaded first time in workbench of windows, load then restart the workbench. Then the problem will be solved
Just close MySQL workbench and restart
it works!
its most probably the same as I used when I learned MySQL from youtube. You just need to restart the workbench. This happens because it was originally in mac.
I had the same issue, just close the workbench window and open again, it most of the cases the problem will be solved.

Latest version of Wokrbench requires old Mysql version when trying to export a DB, but couldn't downgrade Mysql (Wampserver) (with error screenshot)

When I try to export a DB in workbench, it tells me error as in the screenshot below:
As I understood, it wants me to downgrade MySQL, which is currently v5.7.19 came with the wampserver. But when I went to wampserver website I didn't find such MySQL version in older wampserver versions.
Also, when I check updates fro workbench, I am told it is latest version.
If the solution to this problem not by going that way, Please tell me.
In all cases, please help me to solve the problem showed in the screenshot.
That's not an error, but a generic warning Workbench shows when the server is newer than the tools it ships with. This is to let you know that some new features may not be supported. In this particular case the difference should be minimal and you can ignore the message. Alternatively, you can point MySQL Workbench to the mysqldump binary of the current server (using the application settings).

MySQL Administrator GUI tool for 5.6

I have searched for this tool for version 5.6, but unable to find it. Instead MySQL Workbench shows up. I am guessing that MySQL Administrator GUI tool and MySQL Query Browser GUI tool merged in MySQL Workbench? Can someone confirm or give the detail? Thanks.
Confirmed, that is what happened.

MySQL workbench has encountered a p‌r‌o‌b‌l‌e‌m Parameter is not valid

MySQL workbench was working properly till last login(yesterday). When I tried to open an existing connection(today), this error was popped up. I was trying to convert tables from MSSQL to MySQL yesterday.
Detailed error message
MySQL workbench has encountered a problem
Parameter is not valid
We are sorry for the inconvenience but an unexpected exception has been raised by one of the MySQL Workbench modules. In order to fix this issue we would kindly ask you to file a bug report. You can do that by pressing the [Report Bug] button below.
Please make sure to include a detailed description of your actions that lead to this problem.
Thanks a lot for taking the time to help us improve MySQL Workbench!
The MySQL Workbench Team
For future reference, I had the same problem out of the blue with Workbench on Windows 7 so I re-ran MySQL Workbench installer, selected Repair and everything went back to normal.
I guess some update messed up the install.
This is not about the normal login but migration in MySQL Workbench. This part uses separate logins to source and target servers. If your connection to the MS SQL server worked yesterday and you didn't change anything in MySQL Workbench then it is very likely something with your MS SQL server happened. So, someone needs to check if that server is still running properly and can be accessed from your machine.
Okay listen up. Go to your downloads where you had actually downloaded workbench setup right click on it, you will find an option called "Repair", click on it, follow all steps, open your workbench, open your connection now!(Mine is Windows 10)
Note : You can do it by re-installing workbench too! But Repairing the tool is more convenientPFA Image
