Remote Access on Windows 8.1

For those of you who are facing the heat in doing even the smallest of tasks in Win 8.1 and somehow still refuse to switch back to Win 7 (like me) , hang in there! Soo, recently I tried to share my Laptop's Remote Access with a friend and experienced several glitches, so here's what worked for me:

  1. Go to Control Panel, (in Category view)
  2. Click on System and Security
  3. Go to Windows Firewall, click on "Allow an app through Windows Firewall". Tick on:             
             *Remote Assistance
             
*Remote Service Management
             *Windows Remote Management
     4.  Go to System in System and Security
     5.  Click on Allow Remote Access.

There you go, Rest of it is easy-peasy.
