Why does program execution hang when using "pause?"

I am using Windows 10, Matlab R2016a (9.0.0.341360) 64-bit win64 Feb 11, 2016 for the Coursera Machine Learning course. A number of the example programs use the "pause" operator to allow a user to observe some output before continuing.
I have noticed that about 20% of the time, when I press enter at the "pause" section of a program, it will not proceed. I have to press ctrl-c to abort, and then restart the program.
The lower left corner says "Paused: Press any key" but when I press enter, it reports "Busy" in the lower corner and hangs forever.
If I press CTRL-C, I see it is aborting at the PAUSE line.
I usually have to restart MATLAB to get it working again.
Why would "pause" fail this way? Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

This definitely sounds like a bug in the 2016a distribution. Contact tech support; if several people are experiencing, it can adversely affect a much wider population.

With bugs or anticipated bugs, please get in touch with MathWorks support, really doesn't matter what your license type is.

Has anyone found a solution/patch to fix this issue? I am having the same problem, right now with my code. Drawnow and Using the Space does not seem to work well.

Hi,
This is a bug which only occurs in Windows 10. Using Space key to come out of pause mode works, but if Enter key is used instead, it freezes MATLAB. Developers are aware of it and working towards a fix.Currently, the only workaround is to use the Space key instead of Enter to come out of the pause mode.

I agree, I experience the same problem with the pause command on Matlab R2016a on a Windows 7 computer.
