Why can't I view my captures on my PC? Did we time travel? Is it 2004? Microsoft owns...

Hi Knitters99, my name is Jhon, and will be a pleasure help you

I understand your frustration with not being able to view your Xbox captures on your PC and having to rely solely on the Xbox app. While Microsoft does own many things, they're working on evolving their offerings, and the issue you're facing is being addressed.

Here's what you need to know:

Why can't you view captures on PC?

Previously, there was a separate Xbox Console Companion app on PC that allowed you to view and manage your captures. However, it was recently replaced by the new, unified Xbox app. Currently, the Xbox app on PC has limited functionality for viewing and managing captures. This is a known issue Microsoft is actively working on.

Not quite! Although the current lack of capture management on PC might feel like a step back, Microsoft is focused on bringing a more streamlined and integrated experience across devices.

The new Xbox app aims to provide all your Xbox needs in one place, including eventually managing captures on PC.

What can you do now?

While waiting for the Xbox app on PC to gain full capture functionality, here are your options:

Use the Xbox app on mobile: You can view and manage your captures through the Xbox app on your phone or tablet.

Download captures to your PC: You can download individual captures through the Xbox app on your console and access them on your PC.

Provide feedback: Let Microsoft know about your frustration by sending feedback through the Xbox app or the official Xbox website. The more feedback they receive, the sooner they'll prioritize improving capture management on PC.

I hope the information I gave you has been useful, have a happy day.

Hi,

have you tried removing the app and try to reinstall it again to see if that fixes the issue

did you try to go to xboxclips.com and see what that does? or clear catche?

Unfortunately this only seems to work for captures made on PC, not Xbox captures uploaded to the cloud like we used to be able to view in the companion app.

Lame, Microsoft.

I've noticed that the fast travel time is not accurate. I fast traveled to a Hold on my horse and it took about 12 in game hours. I reloaded the save and rode the journey directly myself and it took about 4-5 hours, even with distractions like fighting along
the way. Not sure why, but the time to travel is not calculated properly with fast travel. So most of the time I just make the journey myself and enjoy the view along the way.
