First of all this is not a bug it is expected behavior on Windows because the rsync is absent on Windows.

If you faced with this problem and want to use the rsync as a mechanism to sync folders you should:

1. Download the Cygwin from https://mingw-w64.org/doku.php/download/cygwin
2. Install the Cygwin with rsync + openssh modules. It's important bacause they is basent on a Window (you may select packages to install during installation on the Select packages phase)
3. Add x:\cygwin\bin, where 'x' is the drive on which you have installed the cygwin distribution, to the SYSTEM PATH.
4. Reboot your PC (not need on Windows 10)

That's all.

Thank you for your attention and have a nice day :-)
