Windows 10: Xbox Game Bar saving to AppData/Local/Temp

My Xbox Game Bar has changed its Captures folder to C:\Users\*user*\AppData\Local\Temp. I believe it did this because I had the original Captures folder on an external drive which was removed. This is bothersome as all kinds of other files constantly get dumped into the temp folder, so I am looking for a way to undo this.I have tried the following and made these observations:- In Settings>Gaming>Captures the 'Save screenshots and game clips'-path is set to C:\Users\*user*\AppData\Local\Temp.- The Temp folder does not act as a Captures folder; if I move the Temp-folder Xbox Game Bar stops

:)

 

Xbox Game Bar Captures folder missing

Xbox Game Bar is supposed to save recordings and screenshots to the Captures folder in Videos. There is no such folder present in Videos. When I check through Settings, the folder it is saving recordings to is C:\Users\pc\AppData\Local\Temp.

How do I change the location to which they are saved? There is no Captures folder that I can change the location of, so please advise.

Thanks

High capacity and fast fill of AppData\Local\Temp\jnjl32fl folder

Hi,
