I don't think you'll get any! Just think about windows server license pricing.
Why not Linux? Chrome is available for Linux as well.

BuyVM has free Windows licenses. The 1 GB plan is $3.5, but I'm not sure about the performance for Windows on 1 GB RAM.

Recommend @NDTN 's budget KVM, @dustinc 's 1111 deals, @CloudClone 's prebf deals. Would be better if wait until bf.
Looks good and fulfilled my requirement, let me check each of them.
Everyone has "GUI", but you need to install Desktop Env on Linux to have GUI and NoMachine to have access to this GUI.
For example Ubuntu then Gnome ("how to install Gnome on Ubuntu" in Google, 5 minute work) and then you can use RDP/VNC/NoMachine to see UI instead of console. I recommend NoMachine as its fastest and flawless for me.
Choose provider with location near you (same continent is okay 99% of times), 1.5GB of RAM and SSD. These specs are good enough for 1 tab Chrome.
Check out GreenCloud 2GB RAM VPS in my signature.
Thanks, I'm learning something new. Didn't know all linux machine can install desktop environment on it. Usually, I just SSH to the terminal.
Waiting for Black Friday to buy Hyonix $24/yr.
It is not as straightforward or easy to use as the typical Windows Remote Desktop or Apple Remote Desktop, but people do it. A few days ago, I started a thread asking about ways to display a remote Linux desktop here:

If you want to automate something, using a GUI is probably not the way to go. Your best bet would be writing a script using JS (Node) or Python and then using puppeteer/selenium to run chome/firefox in headless mode on a standard linux vps via the cli.
