File History won't exclude folders

I found at first that ChangoM's suggestion didn't work. For example, trying to select the Dropbox root folder didn't work. I found that if I drilled a bit further into the Dropbox folder, I could successfully add each Dropbox subfolder (weird but true).

For example

This would add to the list of excluded folders correctly: C:\Users\Martin\Dropbox\Private

This wouldn't: C:\Users\Martin\Dropbox

So, it worked for me, with tinkering.

 

Excluded File Types

I want to exclude .jpg files from custom scans since AFAIK they do not carry malware. It would seem like a simple task, but what is the format of this exclusion list? In the past one usually made a list like: .jpg,.bmp,.gif etc... is it the same for Windows
Defender in Windows 10? Nowhere can I find that simple bit of information. Go to Defender help and it dumps you here to sift through thousands and thousands of posts. What a system.

Can anyone give me the format of the excluded file type list? It seems Defender doesn't care what you put there. You could type in the lord's prayer for all it cares.

 

File History won't exclude folders

I just tried to exclude C:\Users\Donny\Downloads using the legacy control panel File History interface. When I clicked "Select Folder" the folder was added to the excluded folders list. When I clicked "Save changes" and went back into the excluded folders
list, C:\Users\Donny\Downloads was not listed at all.

So certainly not fixed for me.
