Hi, Restarting at that point should not be an issue. I understand about it making you nervous, but if it is to the point of asking for permission for a item to have access to a service, then the upgrade has more than likely completed. I suspect that during the Setup Assistant process, it did a poll for devices, noticed that there is no mouse attached, and figured it should wait for you to attach one. Normally, this shouldn’t happen, but things often behave slightly different during setup.
