'How fix error encoding BSON to MongoDB Compass?

I installed MongoDB Compass, and I get error message “An error occurred while loading navigation: Invalid UTF-8 string in BSON document”. I can’t create connection, and database.

  • Version MongoDB Compass 1.28.1

  • Version MongoDB 4.4.8

  • Windows 10 Pro

I tried reinstalling a different version of MongoDB Compass but it didn't help.

On another other computer of the same configuration, everything seems to work, apparently some kind of problem in the OS

What could have happened?

P.S. Console commands work without problem.

Try Mongo Compass 1.26.1 or previous versions or use Robo 3T, it will not throw UTF-8 errors. It will work.

If it is a mongo client db connection in node, then use following configuration

new MongoClient('<connection uri>', { enableUtf8Validation: false });
