This PR update
add-windowsdefender-exclusionscomposite action.And add scripts to collect/print WindowsDefender related information when script failed.
Background
Windows Defender configure action is still failed randomly with following error.
(Currently It's occurred on
windows-11-armimage only)It looks like Windows Defender Service is not started when running CI.
So it need to collect WindowsDefender service information.
Note:
As far as I've confirmed, latest
actions/runner-imagesrepository.Windows OS image exclude
C:\andD:\drive by default.https://github.com/actions/runner-images/blob/main/images/windows/scripts/build/Configure-WindowsDefender.ps1
So it might not needed to run
add-windowsdefender-exclusionscomposite action anymore.Though, It need to collect information to confirm WindowsDefender service is not started issue on
windows-11-armimage.
