Has anyone found an effective way to download xbox captures onto their PC?

What I do is capture my game with Xbox capture . Then Go to my captures on xbox app or xbox.com. Download them to my pc and edit them then put them on youtube . Easy way to by pass everything complicated.

No problem, what I found to be the easiest solution, (while it does involve more steps) is get a external USB drive, as large as you can afford to spend, have stuff upload to xbox live, and download all the captures onto the external as back-up, that way
all the ones in xbox live remain, and the if they get deleted you still have all of them

I had the same issue, but found a way around it.

I unlinked Facebook completely on the Xbox companion app on my PC.

I then downloaded the Xbox app onto my phone and connected it using the phone app. it connected fine and the Xbox companion app on my pc then updated with my Facebook linked to it with no further problems. works fine now

The best way to keep those clips is, install the Xbox app on your laptop or pc. Then on your console go to your captures and upload them to one drive and upload them to live. Then go to the Xbox app on pc or laptop click on the captures and scroll through
what is live and download the clips to your pc or laptop in a file.

I also activated my UE on XBox.com last night - it has successfully downloaded onto my XBox but I cannot find a link to download it onto my PC. (Windows 10 / 1607).
