if there is more needed could you please tell how can i provide you of what you need? am not really familiar with this , would appreciate if you can tell me which command to run or what should i do in order for me to get the information needed

The checks that are failing could be from running the "Windows WMI" or the "Windows SNMP" wizard and not the "Windows Server" wizard which uses the NSClient++ agent.
If the wrong wizard was run, it could generate those errors.
Try deleting those checks and re-run the "Windows Server: Wizard and see if the checks start to function.

If not, can you go in to the Core Config Manager > Services menu and search for that host.
Click on the floppy icon to get the configuration settings and post them here?

I have checked and its the Windows Server that is running

beside this error: I am not longer able to apply any configuration

the error I got is: An error occurred while attempting to apply your configuration to Nagios Core. Monitoring engine configuration files have been rolled back to their last known good checkpoint.

could you please advise?

the error I got is: An error occurred while attempting to apply your configuration to Nagios Core. Monitoring engine configuration files have been rolled back to their last known good checkpoint.

could you please advise?

there is an error in your configuration somewhere. try running /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios/nagios.cfg (that could be incorrect path depending on your env), and you'll want to work through it.

as for your configuration, can you show us a screenshot of the current status listed for your services under the host? it'll help to correlate where the issues are.

can you please check if there are issues with this output and how can i solve it
