CheckMK version 2.0.0P1 vs CheckMK version 2.0.0p16 (CRE): Agent takes nearly double time to answer

I solved the issue by rebooting the target server and removing the “windows_updates.vbs”.
@andreas-doehler : Can you explain where exactly, meaning in which files, I need to make those adjustments?
Is that in the “check_mk.yml” file? And if so: where do I add these lines? I have the default like listed below. Can I just paste it in between?

plugins:
    enabled: yes

    player: ''   # internal value, do not change this
