Windows Game bar FPS not working

PhilipThuren · Aug 9, 2021

Using Windows 10 Home so the computer management solution does not work. It says that I need to request access, which I have done att accepted and then restarted my computer but still says that I need to request access.

I have also tried opening CMD (as administrator) and added myself to the Performance Log group.
Code:
Net localgroup "performance log users" <User> /add
It says that my account is in the group and I have restarted my computer afterwards, but it still does not work. That is pretty much all solutions I have tried.

Thanks in advance

If you have the FPS checkbox selected in the options, but you ALSO have the other four checkboxes selected, FPS will not appear. You have to uncheck one of the others and it'll show up.

I was digging deeper into this to see if there's any other method of accessing it.

Try this command and tell me what comes up.

Windows Key + R and type in lusrmgr.msc and hit Enter.

Yeah, Windows Home does not come with Local Users and Groups in Computer management. Only like Pro and Advanced comes with Local Users and Groups.

Now everything is in Swedish but you can kind of get the point, Local users and groups would be Lokala användare och grupper in Swedish.

Just to be clear. You click with the right mouse button on the Windows logo in the lower-left corner and go to ''Computer Management'' and in ''system tools'' does not appear the tab ''Local Users and Groups''?

Try doing an in-place upgrade.

How are you, Philip?

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 widget, 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.
