Windows 10: Windows Game DVR Location Change?

Hello,

I am currently using the built in Windows Game DVR, and I want to change the default save location. I have read other threads, but they don't help me at all. I do not have an account with Xbox and I don't plan on getting one. Is there anyway I can do this? I would love to save it on my other HDD.

Thanks! *Smile

Game bar screenshots and recordings are saved to your %UserProfile%\Videos\Captures folder. As this is a system created folder you can right click on it and go to Properties, Location and use the Move tab to select a new location for it. This new location should then be used by Game DVR for future recordings.
