    Capture Saving not correctly showing correct folder for recent captures


    Last week i wanted to save my captures to my external hard drive. instead of saving them to a specific folder within the harddrive, i had them save to the entire hard drive its self. because of this, my recent captures are showing files and not clips and screenshots. i change my saving settings back to a normal folder but my recent captures are still showing said files and not recordings/ screenshots.

    i wish microsoft made it easier to save your stuff rather than having this huge process all for changing your stuff.... not cool or smart idea at all whoever came up with that idea is whack... but anyways.

    show all captures/recordings problem

    If I understand what you are talking about, it sounds like you need to empty the capture folder on your PC. The Game Bar will show the files that are in the capture folder. When you moved the capture folder it sounds like it changed the modified date
    on your old captures so they all showed up as recent again.

    Game dvr not saving clips?

    Hi TriedBasket635,

    By default, the video clips that you captured are saved to the Captures folder which is located in the Videos folder. Regarding your concern, it is possible that the video clips weren't captured successfully that's why it doesn't show up on the Captures
    folder. Can you tell us if you're getting the same issue if you record another game clips on your game? Also, is your Windows 10 updated?

    I have a simular issue. I accidentally deleted my "Captures" folder. And now all my captures are being saved to '\AppData\Local\Temp'

    I want I created a new Captures folder in my videos, however all my screenshots and video captures are still being saved in 'Temp'

    Hey there!

    When you started capturing your clips did you start capturing them in the external HD, or did you save them to the default file drive which is C:\users\%username%\Videos\Captures?

    I would suggest trying to capture a new game clip without your external HD plugged in to see what it says when it asks you where you want to save the clips.

    Also what do you see when you open up your captures folder from the Game Bar?

    To see where your captures are saved, open Game bar and select the My captures folder, or press the
    Start button, choose Settings > Gaming >
    Captures. Press the Open folder button to see your captures in File Explorer.

    By default, game clips and screenshots are saved in your Videos folder (named
    Captures). The Captures folder can be moved to different places on your PC.

    There should also be a help link when you select Captures that says "How to save to a different folder".

    Try that out and let us know what happens.

    Game Bar Captures Folder Missing

    I did exactly as this link shows, but redirecting to a slave drive's root.

    The difference is, I didn't create a new folder on the separate drive before clicking ok. Somehow that made the real Captures folder go into the abyss.

    https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/87523-move-location-game-dvr-captures-folder-windows-10-a.html

    The capture folder is now completely missing. It cannot be located, and every time I re-open the game bar now it has decided to place where captures are saved in a different odd place. It went from the root of the slave drive of where I tried to move the captures
    folder to, to the Videos folder, to the temp folder, and now to the system recovery partition. It's acting weird. I even uninstalled and reinstalled the game bar. No change.
