Windows 11 Home - Xbox Game Bar FPS counter not working, even after adding my account to...

Im having the same problem. The following guide does not work since my copy of windows does not have local users and groups in computer management. I have reinstalled gamebar, resetted it, reinstalled again etc. but nothing seem to work.

Not seeing the FPS info after completing FPS setup

When you set up the FPS counter in Xbox Game Bar, your user account will be added to the Performance Log Users group (if your account is the administrator for the device or the administrator has added your account to the group). If you’re not seeing the
FPS counter after restarting your PC (Request access button still appears in the FPS tab), verify that your account was added to the Performance Log Users group by typing Computer Management in the desktop search box, selecting Local
Users and Groups > Groups > Performance Log Users. If you’re not seeing your account in the Members box, request access again from the FPS tab in the Game Bar Performance overlay, then restart your PC.

If you’re still not seeing FPS info after retrying access, manually add your administrator account to the group by typing Computer Management in the desktop search box, selecting Local Users and Groups > Groups > Performance Log Users,
pressing Add, then following the prompts. Restart your PC for the changes to take effect."

Hi Christopher. Thanks for your response, but unfortunately none of that helped. I have already looked at previous posts on this and other forums as well, where I found a few things that helped for others. I tried those as well (as mentioned, through cmd), but that hasn't helped either. Wondering what next methods I can try?

Hi there Freek welcome to the community forum! Christopher here, an Xbox fan just like you and has been on Xbox for years already. I would really love to make your day by helping you out. Everytime the gamebar starts acting up I follo these steps, give them a try!

You will see FPS which may require a request and a restart but you're ready to go!

That's my problem. It doesn't work. It keeps asking to validate/reboot each time I do it.

That's why I ask help because with Win10 Home you can't follow the instruction from the Xbox support itself (again : https://support.xbox.com/fr-CA/xbox-on-windows/social/xbox-game-bar-performance) because you can't manage the users groups properly.

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

Let us know if this helps!
