# Windows Agent 4.18.8

**Release Date: 11/6/2018**

## Release Notes

**Improved IIS restart behavior**

- Fixed an issue where in rare occasions IIS would not retry restarting following a timeout

**Improved Behavior around Change Detection in the Agent**

- Certain file extensions/directories that are constantly updating could cause noise for Change Detection. These file types and directory names have been blacklisted to not trigger an app change.

**Fixed a bug where APM data could be going into the wrong App name in Retrace**

- In specific scenarios where apps shared the same app pool, data would flow into the wrong app name at times.

**Updated the APM SQL parser to the latest .NET native version**

**Fixed an issue with profiling Windows Services**

- This fixes an issue where using the `/EnableStackify` method would cause an App Discovery problem.

**The Windows agent has been updated to .NET framework version 4.6.2**

**Updated the Java Profiler in the Windows agent to Version 1.25.1 for Java on Windows**
