How to do it...

The steps to be followed for Windows 10 Xbox app forensics are as follows:

  1. Navigate to the location listed above and browse through the file list.
  2. Within Xboxlivegamer.xml you will find the users profile details, including their avatar and email address.
  3. Going down one subfolder, into UsersUsernameAppDataLocalLocalStateModelManagerPeople, will allow you to look at social connections.
  4. To find details of contacts, including messaging, relationships, and information about their friends, you will need to look at the .xml file that is named after the users Xbox ID. You can find this ID in the Xboxlivegamer.xml file.
  1. Along with all the usual data on friends, you should also be able to see the listed locations of friends, which can be particularly interesting if you are trying to establish whether a person is linked in any way to a specific place.
  2. A very useful place to look is in the Messaging subfolder, which contains details of all messages sent and received, including timestamps, the users who sent or received them, and the messages themselves in plain text:

  1. Recording gameplay is something a lot of users do, either to post it on the internet later or to refine techniques, or simply to share it with friends. However, some people also use this handy built-in feature of the Xbox app to record their screens when running various other applications. You can find the recorded gameplay data in UsersUsernameXboxAppGameDVROnThisPC. Within this folder you should see a subfolder called Videos, which in turn contains a folder called Captures. You will then be able to open and play these videos.
