Xbox Game Bar capture folder as temp folder

Hi. I recently lost a USB drive that my Captures folder was residing. This has prompted Windows to change my Capture folder to AppData\Local\Temp. I've attempted to create a new Captures folder in my Videos folder, but it has not changed. Is there a way to forcefully change the Captures folder, since the Captures folder is inaccessible?

 

Xbox Game Bar capture folder as temp folder

Hi Burrito,

Good day! I’m and I'll try to help you today.

I am sorry to hear about the inconvenience. I suggest doing a Reset of the Game Bar app to hopefully set the Captures folder location to its default which is under C:\Users\username\Videos\Captures

Here's how to reset the app:

1) Press windows key + i

2) Go to Apps

3) Search for Game Bar

4) Click Advanced Options

5) Select Reset

6) Then access Game Bar again and check where the folder is located.

Let me know how it goes. Have a great day!
