The windows agent got two new configuration options
For the [local] and plugins sections the parameter execution, which allows to configure if a script should be executed afterwards or while the agent collect its general data.
The [global] section now has the parameter async_script_execution where you can configure whether 'delayed' scripts should be executed sequential or parallel. You can find more information in our official documentation at the page "Monitoring Windows".
