Previously, as the number of views increased within a view stack, the tab titles became too small, displaying only icons. This made it challenging for users to identify views solely based on icons, leading to a cluttered UI and decreased usability.

<p>
On Mirosoft Windows 10 or later the Microsoft Defender can significantly slow-down the startup and overall performance of Eclipse-based applications.
The Eclipse IDE can now detect if Microsoft Defender is active, inform you about that and if wanted can exclude itself from future Defender scans.
</p>
<p><img src="images/windows-defender-autofix_startup-check.png" alt="Windows Defender autofix startup check"/></p>
<p>
On Windows the <code>General -&#62; Startup and Shutdown</code> preference page offers further information
and allows to disable the startup check for new installations and to run the exclusion check for the running installation again.

<p>
Creators of custom Eclipse-based products that use the <code>org.eclipse.ui.ide.workbench</code> application and want to suppress the new startup check for their product
can disable it by adding the following entry to their product's <em>preferenceCustomization</em> properties file:<br>
<code>org.eclipse.ui/windows.defender.startup.check.skip=true</code>
In order to execute the startup check for products running applications other than <code>org.eclipse.ui.ide.workbench</code> the other application has to be set via:
<code>org.eclipse.ui/windows.defender.startup.check.app=&#60;application-id-in-use&#62;</code>
