I found a (temporary) workaround until this problem is addressed.
1. Deactivate and uninstall the Yoast SEO plugin from your WordPress site.
2. Download wordpress-seo.3.5.zip (which can be found under the ‘Developers‘ tab @ Yoast SEO plugin page)
3. Upload wordpress-seo.3.5.zip to your WordPress site and install & activate the plugin.
4. After activation, configure Yoast SEO as you like and save all Yoast SEO settings.
5. Then update the Yoast SEO plugin to it’s latest version by using WordPress’ built-in updater.
6. After updating the plugin, check all your Yoast SEO settings since there are some additions and/or changes made in the last few versions.

We are aware of an issue using the wizard on IIS servers. If you are not sure what type of server you’re using, please contact your webhost. If you would like to follow the progress of the report, you can do that here: https://github.com/Yoast/wordpress-seo/issues/5764

If you are not running an IIS server, please check for javascript errors following the steps here: How to find JavaScript errors with your browser’s console?

Some users have reported that disabling REST API features in the Yoast SEO plugin will resolve the error you are getting. A user provided the code here.

If this resolves the issue, please can you please submit the issue and temporary fix to our GitHub repository for Yoast SEO? Thanks!
