VS is an awesome development environment, but I was having your problems with Windows and programs running under Windows for most of my adult life. I switched to Linux full-time at about 5-6 years ago, and I've been happy ever since. I can leave the OS running for weeks with no issues, and it would probably go for months but I'll turn the power off.
Oh, and with Linux, if you don't run a graphical desktop environment like Gnome or KDE (which most distros have the option of doing), then you boot into a REPL you can program the system in (Bash shell). Windows used to have the same with DOS, but no more...
