    Can't browse to user folder, must enter path manually


    I am setting up a new laptop running Windows 10 Home. I moved the content folders (Documents, Downloads, Music, Pictures, and Videos) from my User Account folder on the small SSD to a secondary HDD using the Properties, Location. Move method. Now when I navigate to the Users folder on my C drive, the only folder that shows is Public. If I type in C:\Users\Rache manually then I can see everything that should be there. Toggling Hidden Folders on and off doesn't change anything. How can I make the Rache folder show under Users again? Is it going to cause any problems that it isn't visible? Thanks for your help!

    :)

    Xbox Game DVR - No path folder

    Hi,

    There are several reasons as to why you can't use the Xbox Game DVR on your computer. Regarding your concern, the error message that you received occurs if the folder where you save your videos is missing or corrupted. Can you check if it will work
    by returning the original Captures folder back to its original location? In doing so, we recommend that you cut and the paste the folder so that we could see if the Game DVR will recognize the folder.

    If that didn't work, we suggest that you change the default location where you game clips and screenshots are saved in Windows 10 by performing the following steps:

    • Open File Explorer.
    • Click This PC.
    • Browse the following path: C:\Users\Username\Videos
    • Right-click the Captures folder and select Properties.
    • Click on the Location tab.
    • Click Move button.
    • Browse to the new location to store your Captures folder.
    • On the top-left corner, click the New folder button.
    • Name the folder Captures and press Enter.
    • Select the newly created folder, and click Select Folder.
    • Click Apply. Then select Yes to confirm the move.

    Let us know if that works for you.
