Description:
When I try to install and reconfigure the MySQL-Server on my local windows machine, I can't continue the tab "Authentification Method". It only has two radio-options "Use Strong Password... and Use Legacy..." but no way to confirm, continue or to skip. It's also not possible to start the server. When I try, all I get is 'could not start' without any error code or message.

How to repeat:
Install it on a windows-machine

When I run it, the step "Authentification Method" only shows two options (new and legacy) without any way to continue. No button with "Next", "Skip", "Finish" or anything. How did you manage to continue from that point?
