I have installed and configured MySQL server 8.0.20. When I try to connect to this server with my application I get a connection time out error. If I up the time out I get a "Can't connect to this server". I am 100% sure the connection string is correct. I have also upgraded to the newest version 8.0.21, but with no luck.
One thing I have noticed is that when I try to configure the MySQL server through the MySQL Installer, it hangs for a few seconds and fails to connect on the check connection step. The weird thing is that this only happens the first time, if I immediately do it again the check is successful. If I use the MySQL shell or Workbench it connects successfully on the first attempt. I have tried turning off the firewall, but this didn't help. It seems to me that something is blocking the connection, but I have no idea what.
When I run this on my local machine (Windows 10) everything works perfectly, but when I run it on my Windows Server 2016 this issue occurs.
Do you have any idea what the problem is or how to fix this?
