Windows 10 Home - Xbox Game Bar (FPS counter)

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

No, it's independent of games. It doesn't work anywhere!

For example: Forza Horizon 4, Gears 5, Aoe2 DE, Witcher 3, GTAV, Overcooked, Fortnite, World War Z, etc.

It only works if you are currently in a game if it still doesnt work it could be the game u are playing and it may not be compatible

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!
