    Where's my Movies & TV downloaded movie?


    I'm new to the Microsoft Movies & TV app, and I downloaded a movie to see how well it would play. Can someone please tell me where that file is located? I can't find it, and I can't find anything anywhere that tells me exactly where it is. The closest I've found is a reference in a tutorial here on tenforums that says it's in my %UserProfile\Videos folder, but I can't find that folder.

    Note: I'm not asking how to change the default download location, as I know that now. I know that it would have been a good idea to change that first, but that's moot. I just want to find the existing download so I can move it.

    Thanks in advance.

    Every user has their own Video folder, hence the 'UserProfile' bit above. The easiest way to find yours is open File Explorer and click on 'This PC' in the left hand navigation pane. It just has the name 'Videos' and may contain several folders, including one for Movies & TV.

    Oh...of course. I didn't think to look there, because when I opened Settings in the Movies & TV app, it showed C: as the default download location (it still does for pictures, music, etc.). However, it seems that since I set up Windows to default videos to D:\Videos (on my data drive) when I built the computer, the app was already dropping downloads there in a subfolder called MOVIES. It would have been nice if that were made clear in the Movies & TV app, but that's the way it goes, I guess.

    Thank you for your quick and patient reply.
