title: MySQL Workbench incompatible/nonstandard server
body: <p>I am new to using MySQL and I needed to download it for school, however, I keep getting this error message (picture below). I am using xampp and connecting using the username root. the port also matches what it is telling me. It will let me proceed but a lot of the features are missing. Any help at all would be appreciated.</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Incompatible/nonstandard server version or connection protocol
    detected (10.0.10).</p>
    
    <p>A connection to this database can be established but some MySQL
    Workbench features may not work properly since the database is not
    fully compatible with the supported versions of MySQL.</p>
    
    <p>MySQL Workbench is developed and tested for MySQL Server versions 5.1,
    5.5, 5.6 and 5.7</p>
