Windows 10: Xbox Game Bar won't let me view capture location.

I have tried resetting the app and repairing the app multiple times, and moving the captures after it saves. It saves to AppData/Temp. I should clarify I only have a C: drive, but I was previously messing around with partitions recently, but I have restored order to my system by now, with multiple restarts in the process, so I don't know why Game Bar and screen snipping tool for the record cannot reset their save locations.Again, the way to fix this is being withheld from me, so I need another way to fix it. Powershell/CMD advice would be preferred.

Unable to "move" Captures folder for Xbox Bar Captures

Thanks for the reply!

I am unable to follow those steps. As I mentioned, there is no "Captures" folder. It points directly to the temp folder, and there is no Captures folder for me to edit. When I go into the properties on the temp folder, I have no "location" tab, so nothing can be changed.

 

Unable to "move" Captures folder for Xbox Bar Captures

Thank you for your reply.

Please emulate this: (this is similar to the tutorial)




Now I don't have 'Game DVR' in Settings as per the tutorial. No idea why- I don't have Xbox and don't use this.
But I do have the Captures section in Settings.

What path is shown on yours (red?) If it's to some Temp folder, change it there in Settings.

You can see where mine is set- to a folder in the Videos library.

If I right click the Captures folder- green- (as described in the tutorial) I see a Location tab - blue.

If yours is not similarly configured, I suggest you make the necessary change.

For more: see tutorials on Location (simply search for that- there are quite a few).
