Lose photo/video editing downloading from iCloud.com to PC

I love photo and video editing tools on my iphone 12. In the past, I always edit photos and videos on my phone, sync with iCloud, edited versions are then downloaded to my PC for storage.

However, I noticed lately that by default only the originals are downloaded to PC. I double checked my iphone which has "Optimize iPhone Storage" on. In iCloud.com, it displays all items in edited versions. But all edits are lost from iCloud to PC. Not able to download edits created difficulties in my case since a lot of videos have been edited shorter.

At iCloud.com, I found new features showing download options, I tried the middle option "Including Edits" + "highest resolution", had hoped this would deliver edited version without compressing. But instead it delivered the same copy as downloading the original, no edits are included. The first two options in the attached picture does the same thing. Not sure if this is a software bug. However if I select the bottom option "Most Compatible", I received a small compressed file.

I searched but didn't find similar discussion online. Has anyone run into this? Any solutions/work around? I am going on a trip soon, hope to find a way to save my recent editing.

Thank you all in advance for your input!
