Hi Keshka,
Real-time operations are handled by our KFLOP Controller so Windows doesn't need to be real-time responsive. I'm not aware of Windows background functions ever being an issue.I will start with my biggest concern. Windows does lots of things without asking. Stupid things that interrupt most any program you might try to run. Things like file indexing, antivirus searches and updates. Last thing I need on a machine that powerful is an interruption in the middle of a sensitive operation. How do you resolve this?
Regarding Windows Updates: There are a number of ways those can be handled in order to not interfere with a Job: Disabled, set active hours, pause until specified date, etc.
