what I found is that the Blaze needs to be fully charged and a regular USB port wouldn't charge it enough. I used a wall adapter and plugged my charge cable into it. Try that and let it charge for about an hour. I originally had the same problem and finally paired it with the app on my Android phone rather than try to Bluetooth it or connect it to my computer. It did take a couple of full resets of the Blaze to get it to fully load and setup.

A couple of things are possible. You might try restarting the Blaze. Hold down on the left button and the lower right button at the same time for about 10 seconds. I had to do that.
Another thing, if you have other bluetooth devices, particularly a phone with the Fitbit app on it, you might turn off the bletooth on the device. It could be sending a signal that is interfereing with the setup. If you have other Fitbit trackers in close proximity, try moving them as par as possible from the computer.

During setup, it asks for me to update my Blaze in order to use it. But when I try to update after a few seconds it tells me that the request has timed out. I don't know what to do!!

@SunsetRunner anything thing I would try I'd restarting the Flex doesn't work, would be to Shut the phone completely off then restart it.
Yes there are many individual things you can try on the phone, but turning it off will fix all of them at once.
