Hi @noszone

this is normal: on windows, by default, configuration is taken from registry where it is from agent.cfg on other OS.

If you want to take it from a file, you can start agent manually with the following parameters: --config-file=<path-to>/agent.cfg

And indeed, this is exactly what is done when you uses the portable version.
