Failed to retrieve Microsoft Defender status: Process terminated with unexpected result: Not running

Let's make sure issue is not already fixed in latest builds first.

I verified I can reproduce this issue against latest Integration Build of Eclipse SDK

Steps to reproduce

Disable Windows defender completely, e.g. using https://www.sordum.org/9480/defender-control-v2-1/

powershell -Command (Get-MpComputerStatus).AMRunningMode then returns an additional status not documented by Microsoft: Not running.

eclipse.platform.ui/bundles/org.eclipse.ui.workbench/Eclipse UI/org/eclipse/ui/internal/WindowsDefenderConfigurator.java

Lines 325 to 328 in 5484902

    
           // https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/security/defender-endpoint/microsoft-defender-antivirus-windows#use-powershell-to-check-the-status-of-microsoft-defender-antivirus 
        
           case "sxs passive mode", "passive mode", "" -> false; //$NON-NLS-1$ //$NON-NLS-2$ //$NON-NLS-3$ 
        
           case "normal", "edr block mode" -> true; //$NON-NLS-1$//$NON-NLS-2$ 
        
           default -> throw new IOException("Process terminated with unexpected result:\n" + String.join("\n", lines)); //$NON-NLS-1$//$NON-NLS-2$

should be adjusted to include that.

I wonder: Maybe this method should be more graceful to unknown statuses, e.g. log them and return false instead of throwing an Exception.

Here is some relevant log output
