  Windows IoT Core is a pretty good RTOS, competitive with VxWorks. The NT kernel is good engineering. It’s the Win32 userland baggage that causes all the problems.

      The native NT kernel APIs are "undocumented" and meant for private use inside Microsoft only.

      That's why I mentioned IoT Core: it is, in fact, Windows without the Win32 userland. As such, it has no shell other than a web interface, and only runs UWP executables. If you've ever interacted with an Xbox One in dev-kit mode, that's basically the experience of using Windows IoT Core.
