Pam,

if you speak of databases on the homescreen I assume you mean connections you created to MySQL servers somewhere on your local machine or your network.

Judging from the path you gave I gather you are on Windows. MySQL Workbench has the ability to recreate connections for each locally installed server automatically if there are no connections defined yet (on the homescreen). In your case I assume the file where the connections were stored got corrupted/deleted and hence the tiles disappeared. But since no new ones are created I'd think you don't have any local servers installed. But you mentioned that path which indicates you *have*. So I wonder why that automatic recreation doesn't kick in. I assume you have already restarted MySQL Workbench at least once.

That means you have to manually recreate the connections to your server. Watch my video to learn how this is done: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCgRF4KOYIY.

Once you recreated your connections you can continue working with your databases.
