October 2019 Xbox Game Bar Update Enables FPS Counter and Achievement Tracking

Detailed on Xbox Wire, the October 2019 Xbox Game Bar Update improves the revamped Xbox Game Bar
that launched earlier this year and is a customizable, gaming overlay on Windows 10 that gives users access to various widgets for screen capture and sharing, seeing and chatting with Xbox friends from PC, Console, and/or mobile, and much more by simply hitting
Win+G.

The FPS Counter has been added to the Performance overlay that had already shown CPU, GPU, and RAM usage, and also gives users "more control over which system resources are tracked and displayed on-screen, and added graphical options so you can customize
the look and feel of the overlay (including transparency!)."

Sounds like the feature should be there.

Hello Thalia,

Thanks for coming to the forums. We understand having issue accessing the FPS setting. Here is a

thread that explains how to get and access the FPS setting. Try this and let us know the outcome.

Thanks,

Brad

Hi Mark,

I'm assuming you are running Windows 10 Home and not Windows 10 Pro since Home does not have access to the section, Local Users and Groups.

I found a thread on how to get this resolved for Windows 10 users that involves using some commands but the instructions are very well written out and a link to the original source is also provided: Xbox
Game Bar - How to enable FPS counter on Windows 10 HOME

Let us know if this helps!

Hi Mark,

To use the FPS counter over your game, there are a few one-time steps you might need to take.

Important You’ll need Xbox Game Bar version
3.34.11002.0 or later to use the FPS counter.

1. Press Windows logo key + G to open Game Bar, then select Overlay menu > Performance.
2. Choose the FPS tab, then press Request access.
3. Follow the prompts, then restart your PC for the changes to take effect.

When you launch a game, the FPS counter will be ready and waiting in the Xbox Game Bar.

I hope this helps!

Game bar still has strange color bug and unreadable letters in performance (Beta) menu when change from Light to Current Windows theme.
