    Can't specify my Captures folder for GameBar bX8AY28SbJZdOyifUuWoFlhnh95qpW0SBraaR91vLqA.jpg

    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?
