The message body is missing here. And no, I don't want to discuss what's
written in the subject.

Why am I not surprised?

No problem. However, you still haven't described your problem in the
message body. Pls tell us what you have done step by step, and what you
expect to see.

Hint: in case there's a question in the minibuffer, please answer with
"y" or "n".

Thanks, I've seen what happens.

Well, at the time Emacs hangs you are communicating with the
auth-source package. I don't know why it fails in your case, and I
don't run MS Windows for tests (I'm running GNU/Linux, and there this works).

What is the value of the `auth-sources' variable? Do you use the
auth-source package. If not, does it help to set `auth-sources' to nil?
