Windows 10: Can't specify my Captures folder for GameBar

I had to reinstall Windows 10 about a week ago for unrelated reasons, but I had moved my Captures folder to my gaming SSD (F:\). When I reinstalled, I moved the empty captures folder in the default location to the current location. However, GameBar now saves to my temp folder and the default folder is non-existent. Is there a way to manually specify where GB saves captures?

Restore Default Gamebar Capture location

Hi, I followed your steps but the captures are still saved in my video folder, now located in C:\Users\\Videos. How could I change the capture save location to C:\Users\\Videos\Captures? Thanks for the help.
