Workbench has been crashed when I run the script.

When I press the lightning icon of my workbench, it crashes every time. My workbench version is 6.3, and MySQL is 5.7. The server seems to run properly, and the script loaded without any problem. How can I run the script? any suggestion?

It looks like it have a lot of problems with crashes

You know it is probably internal problem, I'm not sure if you can fix this. Because no queries work for you right ?

May be you can try another version, although I would recommend check alternative software to MySQL workbench

http://alternativeto.net/software/mysql-workbench/

As you can see there a ton of nice tools. I for example like JetBrains a lot. So

If I had your problem. I would've tried 'DataGrip' for example. It is free for 30 days, but still, worth a try.
