Sertial timed out while configuring Wifi

Hi,

I was receiving a serial time out error while configuring my wifi:

C:\>particle serial wifi
? Should I scan for nearby Wi-Fi networks? (Y/n) Y
? Should I scan for nearby Wi-Fi networks? Yes
? Select the Wi-Fi network with which you wish to connect your device: DP_NET
? Security Type: WPA2
! Something went wrong: Serial timed out

A similar error appeared if I ran the command particle setup

After getting the aboe error, I was able to solve by connect to my serial port and continuing the configuration there.
Immediatly after connecting with Putty, it would ask the password for wifi and finish the process:
