Inspiron 7000 (7537) issues after Windows 8.1 update
I got my laptop updated to 8.1 and i found 2 issues so far:
1- my monitor tuns off after 30 minutes when plugged in, but doesn't turn back on. Happened twice and had to force shut down. (laptop wasn't on sleep)
2- keyboard and touchpad "Failed to start" after windows startup, so i entered the password using on-screen keyboard and restarted windows.

UPDATE!! 24-11-2013
seems that Intel finally solved the issue, released driver 3345.
go to Intel's system detect site and make it detect your system for updates: http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/detect
this update has numerous fixes and the most important is: Resolved black screen occurring when resuming from an automatic monitor off scenario.

I am not sure if this has been mentioned or if this post is too old, but I did find that when I turned off "File History" I was able to shutdown without it restarting. I hope it helps someone. Disabling Fast Start doesn't fix it, however, it is a good idea to disable it for other reasons.
My problem is with Microsoft drivers from 2006 on almost all of my devices after my Windows 8 to 8.1 Update that has crashed almost every month. In Event viewer it even shows deleted devices and duplicates with 2006 drivers!

I also hae this screen issue on my Inspiron 7437.
But also find it extremely annoying that every time I turn my laptop on, the function keys are set differently. By this I mean that I either have to use the {Fn} key on bottom-right to use the top row of fucntion keys, or the next tiime I turn it on I'm not supposed to use that key. I hate this. Why does it not stay one way or the other??
