Keyboard doesn't work on startup and weird UAC prompt

Hey guys,

It's been a while since I've posted here, so sorry if I posted in the wrong section.

When Windows 8.1 was released, I upgraded my current Windows 8 installation. Overall, it has been a great experience. However, I've run into a couple of strange problems that I have never had before.

The first problem is, whenever I boot into Windows 8.1, my USB devices don't work right away (keyboard and wireless mouse). It doesn't matter if I restart my computer or have just turned it on. In order to get the keyboard to respond, I have to unplug and plug back in the cord. It's very annoying to have to do this every time I boot Windows.

The second problem is, while Windows is logging in, I get a UAC prompt. The UAC prompt says "Service Control Manager Configuration Tool". This prompt also happens every single time I log on, which is also very annoying.

I have checked my startup programs and have found nothing obvious that could solve these problems, but maybe I'm missing something.

Does anyone have any ideas? Have these problems happened before? I really would prefer not to do a clean install since everything else is working perfectly and it's not slow at all.

Thanks guys for the help :)!

I Googled it & various people said turning off Fast Startup helps.
You could try it & if it doesn't help you can always turn it back on.
