OP should install Windows Server Nano or Core to run these or use a non-interactive user session to run builds, e.g.: by running a service with a service account instead of a login session with a user account. The OP is making the equivalent complaint of running a full Ubuntu shell complete with the Ubuntu One store running in the background after starting up Gnome, and complaining that Canonical owes him CPU-time. Well, yeah, you logged into a interactive user session in a desktop user-oriented operating system! This is the case of the person who goes to a doctor and says, "It hurts when I do this". The answer: "Then don't do that!"

> Well, yeah, you logged into a interactive user session in a desktop user-oriented operating system! While it certainly is preferable to use a headless session even a desktop session should quiescence by default, otherwise the operating system would be wasting gigawatts across its install base.

Commonly on windows, build pipeline tools don't work when they don't have a desktop environment even though there's no requirement for human interface (indeed, requirement for no human). The advent of Server Nano motivates a first class headless windows reality but even so, we been out here running xvnc because whatever tool required an X server.
