    How do I "reset" the Capture destination for the Xbox Game Bar?


    I recently purchased a new external hard drive, and I wanted to change the location where the Xbox Game Bar's captures would save to my new hard drive. The only way to do this is to re-locate the actual folder (since Microsoft does not let you simply pick a new folder.)

    The only problem is, I accidentally changed the save location to the root folder of my new hard drive (EHow do I "reset" the Capture destination for the Xbox Game Bar? :) instead of a sub folder - so now it just puts all the captures in the root folder of my hard drive and I cannot "re-locate" the root folder of my hard drive.

    Does anyone know how to reset the capture folder, or what I should do at this point?

    There the purpose is use the default location, but you can try to revert the changes and select the desired sub-folder (or change it to the desired sub-folder)

    Give it a try and let me know how it goes

    My Xbox Game Bar won't open

    The reason why I cannot do this is because my xBox Games Bar won't even open. Yes, I'm well aware that I could deinstall my captures but I cannot open the Game Bar when I'm playing a game. That is my question, how to fix that?

    My recordings won't show up (Game Bar)

    Hello ZyraAngeles! I'm Claus, an Independent Microsoft Community Consultant for Xbox! Glad to be able to help you!

    Let's try to reset your Xbox Game Bar in the attempt of fixing this issue, given that you can record, but it simply won't list your Captures. Follow these steps:

    1. Open Settings (Windows 10 app).

    2. Go to Applications.

    3. On that list, select the Xbox Game Bar, and then select Advanced Options.

    4. Go to Reset, and then press the Reset button.

    5. Restart your PC.

    6. Check if the Game Bar is now listing your captures correctly.
