How to setup Series X gamepad's quick capture button on a PC

Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.

I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

Hope you're doing great today ДмитрийСкирта

Try checking inside the Accessories app in your PC to see if you're able to set a different functionality for the share button

As far as I know is not possible to use the share button on PC. But give that a try.

This is the app:

I can't use Windows 11 because of all the removed Win 10 features, and i don't like the new design at all.

I prefer Win 10 as it's more user friendly than Win 11.

- Steam natively supports the Share button in Win 10, and it also can be remapped to saving last 5 minutes with NVIDIA Shadowplay in games.

Alternate app.

- "Xbox Controller Button App".

It enables Share button in Win 10 and you can remap it to most on keyboard.

The problem is that it won't work for everyone due to different revisions of the Series X Gamepad.

Means all Series X Gamepads is not the same.

It's almost year 2023, and it shouldn't be this hard to remap one gamepad button to keyboard hotkey.

After all, it's PC where anything is possible.

with the capture button putting emphasis on sharing in series X, let's hope they step up their game

Check that your capture settings are adjusted to your preferred settings. You can find this by pushing the Guide X button, captures and settings. You can set it to Allow Captures by you, or you and the game, the time duration, I use one min, Automatically
upload, Resolution and storage location. With automatic upload, I found that it caused delay in capturing because the console is trying to upload, while I was asking it to record again, and this just caused the system to get confused. Double check your capture
storage is set properly to Internal Storage, or an external storage formatted for pictures, not games.

To grab a quick screen shot push the Guide X button, then Y to snap a pic. To grab a clip push the Guide X button and X. These are quick button references to getting captures with limited interruption of game play.

In my experience, if I try to snap or clip too often or too quick it will not record them all. I try to wait for the notification to pop that the recording or pic was taken before taking another snap or clip.

So, I know how to format drives on a PC but the T7 wasn't showing up on the PC til I found a 3.1 gen 1 port on the back of the PC case. I formatted it to NTFS then plugged it back into the series X. But, in Capture Location, still only "Internal" was available.

I searched external drive not showing on series X, it said to pull the usb cable then reinstall it then hold the X for 10 seconds then restart the console. I held the big X on the controller, it restarted on its own? I entered the console menu, it now says T7 in capture settings, duration, resolution and more/capture location, but there's no choice between using Internal or External storage just the T7.
