  1. Captures folder missing


    So I was an idiot and accidentally deleted a folder on my computer called "Captures," which appeared in my "Videos" folder. Turns out, this seemingly useless folder is the same one my Xbox One DVR uses to record and store my recorded game videos.



    I've emptied the recycle bin. Can't get it back. And creating a new "Captures" folder didn't help. My Xbox App refuses to save any captured videos. When I try to download them, it crashes.

    I've followed a couple of tutorials that told me to regain the file by going into "Properties" and selecting "restore default location." This doesn't work. When I open the folder where the DVR should be saving things, it takes me to "C:local/users/appdata/temp," which isn't where the tutorials say it should be, and there's no "Locations" option.




    I use downloaded game clips in my cousin's YouTube channel, as well as my own. Now I don't have a way to download those vids to my computer for editing.








    Anybody have a fix for this?

    :)

    System32 folders missing after capture

    I am working with Windows 10 Enterprise 1803 64 Bit. I have tried to capture an image from it and I have noticed that the folders in system 32 after the config folder are no longer folders. What could cause this?

    2. Removed OneDrive
    3. Removed Quick assist using: PS C:\> remove-windowscapability -path c:\test\offline
    4. Applied custom regedits such as detailed view for folder setting, dark theme, ect.
    5. Placed company logos.
    Online image captured:
    1. Exported/Imported startlayout.
    2. PS C:\>dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFX3 /source:d:\sources\sxs /limitaccess
    3. Installed company certificate.
    4. Reg fix to restore Photoviewer.
    5. Set default credential provider to smart card in gpedit.

    7. Disk cleanup.
