  1. Changing Game Bar File Location


    Hello, I was trying to move my captures folder into another drive, so that all my screenshots are not on my C drive. I managed to do so, but accidently set the destination s the D drive itself, and not a folder on the D drive. So every time I take a screenshot, it just ends up unsorted on the D drive. I cannot change the captures folder location now, as I can't change the D drive's properties like I can for a folder. Is there anyway to fix this, to send them to a folder?

    :)
