IMO, that's going to be your main problem.
If you're doing a real-time job, run a real-time OS. QNX,
a real-time variant of Linux, Windows CE, Windows Embedded, LynxOS,
etc. There's too much background junk going on in a consumer OS

Yesterday, I was running a CNC plasma cutter that's controlled
by Windows XP. This is a machine that moves around a plasma torch that
cuts thick steel plate. A "New Java update is available" window
popped up while I was working. Not good.
