As part of the latest big rollup of updates, Microsoft has issued one for those annoying moments when a Bluetooth mouse is installed and it makes the Windows 8.1 device get stuck. Here’s the detailed description:

Assume that you start a computer that is running Windows 8.1, Windows RT 8.1, or Windows Server 2012 R2 for the first time. When a mouse pairing wizard is shown, you configure a Bluetooth mouse and it is installed successfully. It should then progress to a keyboard wizard or a Microsoft Software License Terms page. However, the wizard or the page is not displayed, and you remain on the “Setting up your device” screen.
