Macbook pro retina 15 Mid 2014 - Virtualization bug

For some reason Virtualization is disabled when i boot directly up in Windows 8.1, however if i first start up OSX to the login screen and then select restart and boot into Windows i have Virtualization enabled as expected.

My temporary work-a-round which is terrible annoying:

bootup via ALT and select Ios
at login screen press restart
hold down ALT and select Windows

This enables virtualization, however it would be "nice" to be able to just boot directly into windows.

MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014), Windows 8

Thanks for the tip,

I tried installing refind and configure with enable and lokck vmx to true, however this did not enable virtulization for me, did you do anything else?
