Moreover, the plugin only supported German or English localization settings for Windows. Finally, with German localization settings disabled scheduled tasks would be discovered (despite what the checkman page claimed). This worked correctly with English localization settings. With this Werk, `windows_tasks` uses the new PowerShell API to obtain the data. This fixes the aforementioned issues. Users, whom desire to discover disabled tasks need to configure the new service discovery rule `Windows Tasks`.
