Q:

Failed to create an ipc port; access is denied in MySQL Workbench

I'm getting an error when I try to open MySQL Workbench:
"failed to create an ipc port : access is denied" 
This is the dialog shown by the error

A:

What if you give a reboot to your machine, and then try opening up your workbench instance. 
According to this, the above issue is due to a locked resource.
