As the first start of Lyx can take massive amounts of time (depending on your machine and the number of already installed latex packages), it may seem like nothing is happening for quite a while. You can try opening your task manager and look out for processes like "initexmf.exe", which would indicate that miktex is working on installing packages required for lyx.
