    Hello dear Gamer, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

    My name is Vinicius.

    I am a gamer and independent advisor on the XBOX community platform.

    Hey AhmadMonye, how are you today? Hope you're well.

    Please, try to change the location following those instructions:

    https://www.windowscentral.com/how-change-game-...

    Using these instructions, you're only changing and moving the Captures folder, and it's not necessary to relocate the Videos folder and all its content, which you may still want to keep in the same location. Once you complete the steps, Game DVR will automatically continue to save your screenshots and clips in the new location without additional configurations in Settings or in the Xbox app.

    hi

    click the link below and run the bat file, this will restore the default location for the captures folder, it is a simple registry change.

    from there you can then change the location again

    The program is saving individual files in temp folder so even if i try to change temp folders location to my C:\Users\%username%\Videos location, windows creates a new temp folder and the recording gets saved there.

    I don't know how but my problem is resolved by using [Farscape247}'s method or I did something unintentionally and it worked. So...

    Thanks for helping out, means a lot. It might help somebody out there.
