The conspiracy theorist in me says they broke it on purpose to encourage users to migrate to azure or onedrive. Even on 3+ghz CPUs with multi-gbps SSDs, copying hundreds of little files on my win10 OEM pc was painfully slow. I suspect the A/V was scanning every single one. They have every incentive to gimp local file I/O to promote their higher-profit cloud services.

However it does let you exclude specific folders and will not prevent you from doing things like excluding your entire home folder or even C:\.
