It's a bug in MySQL Workbench 8.0.28 Using MySQL Installer, you can uninstall the workbench then install the MySQL Workbench 8.0.16. It will work well.

You have to go to the control panel, then region, then clic in the administrative tab and click on "change system regional settings" and as a final step check the box: Beta: Use Unicode UTF-8 for worldwide language support, restart your PC and try to access MySQL Workbench.
