    Changed location of captured video

    Hi,

    If you can no longer see the location option on the capture folder, you may restore your Game DVR Captures folder location settings. After restoring the game DVR Captures folder location settings, then you can change your Game DVR Captures folder location
    again. To do this, you may follow the steps below:

    How to restore Game DVR Captures folder location settings

    • Open File Explorer.
    • Browse to the Captures folder location.
    • Right-click the Captures folder and select Properties.
    • Click the Location tab.
    • Click the Restore Defaults button.
    • Click Apply.
    • Click Yes to recreate the folder in the old location.
    • Click Yes to move the content of the Captures folder to the old location, and wait a few moments.
    • Click OK.

    Note: After you've completed the steps, the Captures folder will return with all its content to its default location: C:\Users\%username%\Videos\Captures.

    After performing the steps above, try to change the location of your captured video.

    Kindly update us with the results.

    Adjust capture settings on Windows 10 (Change capture Folder location)

    Hello

    I was trying to save space off my SDD so I decided to move my Captures folder to D:

    I tried copying and pasting it there but it didn't work, so I pressed properties and then elected location, then move and chose D:

    For some reason, I opened D and the screen captures were all around D and not in the captures folder...

    Now my games save in videos as a default folder (not even in a proper Captures folder) and I can't manage to fix it.

    Also, when I click on properties in D:, and press move to default location, it shows the videos folder where the capture folder was originally (but error when I try to move it)

    What I can do to fix this? I want

    1) a proper folder to the game screenshots and not randomly saved in videos (I tried creating it myself but still doesn't save there)

    2) Fix the default location of my D: drive as it's worrying me badly

    ***Modified Title from: Game captures folders moved to D: is now gone!***
