I run MySQL 5.6 since month and everything went well. Also the MySQL Workbench 6.
I receive two errors if I would like to see the \"Server Status\".
1st erro
Funnily enough, mine didn't work after the solution given by @mohit, and I'd rather not restart the computer as a work around as some has suggested.
After doing some digging around, I found that the mysql server service was not running
Task Manager --> Services --> [mysqlxx] right click and click start if not running. Note that. Note that [mysqlxx] could be a different format or name where xx are numbers
