Windows 10: Game dvr capture folder moved to appdata

Hello i am having a very annoying issue where for some odd reason windows decided to end its relationship with the game dvr capture folder and is saving to this path "C:\Users\monst\AppData\Local\Temp" which renders the normal method of changing the folder unavailable. is there a fix for this other than reinstalling windows? Furthermore why isnt there a way to manually select a folder or type in a desired path. FYI my old capture location was "D:\Captures" which is still there with all my old clips it just divorced the game dvr and now windows settings dont want nothin to do with it.

:)

Hmm, its being a pita. It seems you need to do more than drag and drop. Look below and see if this helps you

How to change the Captures folder for Windows Game DVR
In order to change the default location where your game clips and screenshots are saved on Windows 10, use the following steps:

Open File Explorer.
Click on This PC.
Browse the following path:

C:\Users\%username%\Videos

Right-click the Captures folder and select Properties.


Click the on the Location tab.
Click the 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.


Quick Tip: Avoid selecting the root of a drive (for example, E, as you will get an error message trying to restore your default settings in the future. In addition, using the default Game DVR settings, it's also possible to select a network share folder as the new location, if you have a network-attached storage (NAS) or a computer in your local network with more available storage. While this works over a Wi-Fi connection, you'll get better performance using an Ethernet (wired) network connection.
Click Apply.
Click Yes to confirm the move.


Click OK.
Using these instructions, you're only changing and moving the Captures folder, and it's not necessary to relocate the Videos folder and all its content, which you may still want to keep in the same location. Once you complete the steps, Game DVR will automatically continue to save your screenshots and clips in the new location without additional configurations in Settings or in the Xbox app.

You can quickly confirm that Game DVR is using the new location on Settings > Gaming > Game DVR, and then checking the folder path for screenshots and games clips, which now should reflect the new location. Or in the Xbox app, you can go to Settings > Game DVR, and check the location for Saving captures.
