1,749 PointsmySQL workbench - Error Unhandled exception: Current profile has no WMI enabled
Every time I click on either "Server Status" or "Startup / Shutdown" I get this error:
" ERROR: Could not acquire management access for administration. RuntimeError: Could not initialize WMI interface: Workbench.wmiOpenSession(): Could not connect to target machine. "
I can't find a solution to this. It worked fine the first time I worked in mySQL workbench. I have uninstalled everything and installed it again, didn't work either :(
I really would appreciate some help with this, thanks!

231,236 PointsI'm not personally familiar with this issue, but I've seen postings about it, one suggests these steps be taken to resolve it:
- Open MySQL Workbench
- click on “Manage Server Instances” under “Server Administration” column
- close the screen again.
- Now click on the instance again, the issue should be fixed.
Another post makes this recommendation:
- Open MySQL Workbench
- Click Manage Server Instances
- Select System Profile tab
- Check box(es) to acquire Admin privileges
Try one or both of these and see if it helps.
