I bet you have OpenVZ VPS, this means that other VPS's can affect your VPS, usually this happens when hosting company oversell their VPS. KVM is more stable.

OpenVZ is like some container-based virtualization where if you have Linux, then you put digital containers where each one has its own freedom per-say to install/modify per wish but it's all shared under the master container (the main host), so you cannot modify any core server settings or install any kernel updates; the host has to do it for you. Plus, Linux is being shared all over these containers. You can't expect Windows to be installed under Linux. It's just impossible o-O
KVM is the real deal. It offers you full virtualization, meaning, you will receive a dedicated VPS where you can do literally whatever you want, because the server's all yours. Kernels? Core config? sysctl? All editable. With this, you can install Windows, Linux or w/e you want to because all its resources are all yours. Only thing is that you have to be/you need a sysadmin in order to do something on a KVM because you have to mess around with iptables sooner or later
This article explains more better than I do, hope you get the meaning.
*An instance can't access other instances because OpenVZ is a secure virtualization
In this case, OP is having a restricted KVM access wherein Windows is installed in it. Better move to Linux for better speed and optimize your script to the maximum. Sometimes GUI can prove a fatal issue in low RAM-based servers
