Question / Help OBS looses Elgato on start

Hi I hope someone can help me, I'm using the latest version of OBS with Win8.1 the latest Elgato software and a Elgato GC HD
I've got it all set up in OBS and it streams fine, however, 90% of the time I open OBS ready to make a stream but OBS cannot see the elgato. To get this to work I have to disconnect the Elgato, delete the source and global source and then reboot the laptop. Then on boot reconnect the Elgato, and re-add it to OBS again. If I open the Elgato software before doing so I have to start again. Is this normal behavior/a known bug? Does anyone know a fix for this or a way to get OBS to see the Elgato again without having to delete sources and start again?
I've tried disconnecting the Elgato and uninstalling from Device Manager with no luck.

Any help appreciated.

oh I forgot to mention, whilst OBS cannot see the Elgato you can still open the Elgato software and use it no problem, its only OBS that cannot pick it up
