How to Turn On or Off Xbox Game Bar in Windows 10

How to View Game Performance with Game Bar in Windows 10

 

Xbox Game Bar

My run down to fix my specific problem went as follows.

(Will include the accident)

So I ran the powershell as admin, ran the command to uninstall the xbox app.

Didn't work

Ran it again, but accidentally ran two powershells simultaneously with the same command and it removed my xbox-PC authentication program thing as well as my console companion logging me out of my xbox PC (Beta)

So I got my settings back to what I initially had them at (Just turned on my FPS counter)

Ran powershell + command string 1 singular time, rebooted my PC and reinstalled the xbox app/accessory apps. Before launching my game I opened the win+G game bar and opened my performance tab and clicked the little ziggy line option button since it's not a
gear wheel Idk what to call it, a slider lines?

Anywhoo, unchecked FPS counter to remove it from the performance tab (I had previously tried when you first showed me the powershell trick) but this time after following the steps of

Windows Powershell Admin ran the string below

Get-AppxPackage *xbox* | Remove-AppxPackage

Rebooted PC

Reinstalled game bar and the companion app as well as my xbox-PC login software.

Opened up my game bar before launching my game

took FPS counter off of my performance monitor via setting check list.

Game is now gudd, thank you Greg.

 

Xbox Game Bar - How to enable FPS counter on Windows 10 HOME

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 : Xbox Support) because you can't manage the users groups properly.

Copy/Paste :

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.
