Restore Windows 11 DVR Recordings Folder

I decided to backup all my DVR on an external HD and suddenly my new recordings were nowhere to be found, since I moved the folder.

First, you need to create a folder named Captures in your Video folder, then create a file named desktop.ini inside the folder Captures you created.

Open the desktop.ini file you created and add:


[.ShellClassInfo]
LocalizedResourceName=@%SystemRoot%\system32\windows.storage.dll,-21826

Save all changes and you should have something like this:

📂 %UserProfile%\Videos\Captures\
└──  desktop.ini

Open a console window on the %UserProfile%\Videos\Captures path to change the desktop.ini attributes to Hidden and System

cd %UserProfile%\Videos\Captures
attrib +h +s desktop.ini

Restart session and it you should fix the issue.
