How to turn off fps in the upper right corner of win11?

The persistent on-screen display of frames per second (FPS) in the upper right corner of a Windows 11 system is almost always a feature of a third-party application, not a native Windows function. The primary and most likely culprits are gaming utilities such as the in-game overlays from NVIDIA GeForce Experience, AMD Radeon Software, or the Xbox Game Bar. These tools provide performance monitoring for gamers but can be inadvertently left enabled. Therefore, the solution is not a single Windows setting but requires identifying and disabling the specific overlay service that is active.

For NVIDIA users, the process involves opening the GeForce Experience application, navigating to the settings (often represented by a gear icon), and locating the "In-Game Overlay" section. Within this menu, there is a toggle to disable the overlay entirely, which will remove all its elements including the FPS counter. If you wish to keep the overlay active but only disable the FPS readout, you can often find more granular controls under a "HUD Layout" or "Performance" subsection within the overlay settings themselves. AMD Adrenalin software follows a similar pattern, where the overlay is typically enabled and disabled via a hotkey (like Alt+R) or through the software's settings under the "Performance" or "Overlay" tabs, allowing you to turn off the metrics display.

If the FPS counter originates from the Xbox Game Bar, which is built into Windows 11, you can manage it by pressing Windows Key + G to open the Game Bar interface. From its overlay menu, often accessed via a widget menu or settings icon, you can find options for a "Performance" widget. You can either unpin or close this specific widget to remove it from view. A more definitive approach is to go into Windows Settings via System > Gaming > Game Bar and toggle "Record game clips, screenshots, and broadcast using Game Bar" to the off position, which disables the entire feature set. For users of Steam, the FPS counter is controlled within the Steam client settings under the "In-Game" category, where an "In-game FPS counter" dropdown menu allows you to select its position or disable it.

In less common scenarios, the counter could be from a dedicated benchmarking tool like FRAPS or MSI Afterburner with RivaTuner Statistics Server. These require you to either exit the application completely or delve into their specific configuration panels to disable the on-screen display functionality. The mechanism is consistent: identify the source application, access its settings—which are rarely within the core Windows 11 control panels—and disable the overlay or its specific performance monitoring component. The implication of leaving such overlays on is minimal beyond potential screen clutter, but correctly identifying the source is crucial, as disabling the wrong service will not resolve the issue.
