Change Xbox Game Bar captures folder after it was changed to temp folder automatically.

Hi, i have the same problem, for second option, how can i edit the registry to set the value data on that key? Im not a professional, i need a step by step guide

To change the default location of game bar captures folder on Windows 10, you can follow these steps:

- Open Settings by pressing Windows Logo key + I.

- Click on Gaming and select Captures from the left pane.

- Click on Open folder to open the current capture folder.

- Right-click on an empty space in the folder and select Properties.

- Click on Location tab, select Move and navigate to the Captures folder that you have created inside Videos folder.

- Alternatively, you can open File Explorer, click on This PC, browse to C:Users%username%Videos, right-click the Captures folder and select Properties, click the on the Location tab, and click the Move button.

- Another option is to create a new folder named Captures inside your Videos folder in your user profile, edit the registry to set the value data on that key to %USERPROFILE%VideosCaptures, and restart your PC.

Please give me a few moments while I review your query

I was using an external HDD as well, the thing is for some reason the file path changed (I think the drive letter was F: then it changed to G so since the path to my capture folder didn't exist anymore, the OS automatically changed the location to ..\User\appdata\Temp
but no folder was created inside, thus creating my problem. I tried to see if my problem could be resolved by changing the location of the capture folder to another place than Temp, but since there's no folder of which to change the location, I'm stuck. It'd
be great to have a "reset to default" easy to use button to reset it in cases like these.

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.

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.
