Re: MySQL Workbench 8.0.19 Won't Open on Windows 10

MySQL Workbench still won't open for me. I've tried several things, but to no avail. When run the program in the command prompt, I see this error:

Unhandled Exception: System.AccessViolationException: Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.

Nothing I have found online has led to a resolution. Does anyone know what might be causing this?
