Not sure what you mean by blinking. On the taskbar? And where do you
press OK? Any error message?

What does it say exactly and where (error dialog, command window)?

That is pretty bad. It means that tlmgr doesn't even start the update.
Can you start the gui from the command line with:
tlmgr -v gui > "%temp%\tlmgr-debug.log"
Do the update and send us the tlmgr-debug.log from the temp directory
(type %temp% in the address bar of windows explorer to navigate to
that dir).
Cheers,
