On every agent run, the agent controller is queried for its status as a data basis (among other sources) for the Check_MK Agent service. In the Linux agent, the call to cmk-agent-ctl status is prevented to contact the Check_MK site (as it's normally done) by adding the --no-query-remote option, but this was missing in the Windows agent.
