I am also using windows 8.1 and it works very fine here :
Which Version of 8.1?
Windows 8.1 Pro WMC 64bit Not working.
Pagefile disabled.
Also accessing via remote - Teamviewer
Well thats something we have in common as I am on Windows 8.1 Pro 64bit with pagefile disabled as well. My pc is also decked out with development software. Thou I find it unlikely that having pagefile disabled would create this issue but stranger things have happened.
