For DS4/DS5 to properly function on your Windows 10/11 PC you are required to install necessary first and third party drivers. Some of which, of course, are optional but will improve DS4windows capabilities. Here we will list and give a description of every driver needed to allow your DualShock 4 and DualSense 5 to work. Launching the DS4 app will also ask to install the drivers.
DS4Windows uses the FakerInput driver to expose system-wide virtual keyboard, relative mouse and absolute mouse. Allows Keyboard + Mouses events/commands to be usable in some situations where the usual way DS4Windows sends those commands (via SendInput) fails. Examples of those situations are elevated processes and games, UAC prompts and anti-cheat systems that block SentInput events. Use of FakerInput is necessary to allow DS4Windows to work with some games with anti-cheat protection like valorant.
HidGuardian is a driver that can hide controllers from the system and allow only chosen processes to detect them. It was previously used by DS4Windows to solve the double input issue, but was made obsolete by the release of its successor, HidHide, a similar driver that works better and is easier to use.
DS4Windows removed support for HidGuardian in version 3.0.8 in favor of HidHide. As such, users who used and still have HidGuardian installed can be in a state where their controllers are hidden and undetectable to Windows and DS4Windows.
My pci memory controller driver and SM bus controller driver is not found. I went to PCI lookup and found that the drivers are as the picture seen below but I can not find it anywhere. Can someone help me find the PCI memory controller please!
Ok so I extracted right, I go to device manager and the errors are gone now? I can't find the pci stuff anywhere. The only thing I did was install intel chipset software installer. was that a bad move?
If that does not work, So the Intel support engineers can have more information about your system, Download, run, and save the results of this utility as a text file:
-System-Support-Utility
Then ATTACH the text file using the instructions under the reply window ( Drag and drop here or browse files to attach ).

If I uninstall this driver in the "Device Manager" there's no "Delete" option and it will come back to life once I reconnect the controller. If I uninstall and manually delete the driver files (hidclass.sys, hidparse.sys and hidusb.sys) they will still return when the controller is connected again.
I just did a fresh OS install Windows 10 Pro x64 on a new SSD Samsung 850PRO and the SAS Controller driver is missing (from what Device Manager is showing). I can't seem to find it anywhere, all the other drivers were installed via a 3rd party auto driver detect/install software because I couldn't use the HP platform to find the original ones (all I can find are the drivers for the current Z420)
Please help, I m not sure if this is also linked to the fact that my SSD is telling me AHCI mode is deactivated (in BIOS the AHCI+RAID is active.

I'm looking to create a driver for a game controller I have (a cobalt flux www.cobaltflux.com ). The physical controller itself has nine face buttons and two control-box buttons (start/select). The control box has a usb port, but as far as I can tell no one has ever written drivers for it before. The end result I want is to be able to plug in the cobalt flux via the usb port and have windows recognize it as a game controller.
I have some programming experience. I'm a senior undergraduate student in computer science at UC Davis and an intern at a large embedded systems company, however this project involves several aspects I have no experience in: interfacing hardware and software via a USB port, investigating feedback from hardware I didn't build (which bits light up when I press a button?), and creating drivers and indeed programs in general for windows.
It may be worthwhile to note that I need to have joyPAD support and not joySTICK support for the buttons since play will involve pressing down any number of buttons at once and joysticks generally only register one direction of input at any given time.
When you plug in the pad via USB it announces with a device ID and a vendor ID which device it is. Windows Plug-and-Play starts searching for a driver. This mechanism spots it is a pointing device (in my case one or 2 mice) and makes sure that it is treated as a raw data input device. Input from these devices is converted to messages handled by the OS. The solution seems to be to pass the messages of such a raw input device to the right handler. In my case the two mice are both recognised as mice and the messages are used by the same handler as the ones coming from the 3rd mouse that is really my pointing device. I am not experienced enough in C++ coding in order to dig into the rawinput API. I just received an interesting link as answer on my question: at least this gives an answer on my problem. May be it will give you ideas for writing your driver! Good luck !!! Stefan
This article describes support in the Windows operating system, for developing a Universal Serial Bus (USB) function controller driver that communicates with the Microsoft-provided USB function controller extension (UFX).
Windows provides inbox USB function controller drivers such as UfxSynopsys.sys for the controller hardware of Synopsys IP. They generally require platform level changes and validation that are typically performed by hardware partners or OEMs when bringing up a platform. This bring-up process may include integration with ACPI to notify system drivers of USB attach/detach events, and performing additional validation using Microsoft-provided HLK tests. To write your own controller driver, you need:
This evening, I was bemused to find a Linux live disk unable to identify the storage volume on my new Dell XPS 13 laptop. A quick search introduced me to a problem I have not encountered before; the SSD was likely configured to use a SATA controller mode that did not have a driver in the kernel of the live disk installer. This is typically when the stock disk has been shipped in either IDE (for backwards compatibility purposes) or a vendor specific RAID mode, instead of the native Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI) that exposes some of SATAs more advanced features.
One can easily change this setting in the BIOS. On my XPS I had to navigate to System Configuration > SATA Configuration and switch the radio button selection from RAID On to AHCI. A rather scary warning informed me that this would more than likely break my existing partitions. As a curious scientist with a recovery partition as a safety net, I decided to proceed anyway. Unsurprisingly, Windows 10 failed to boot, electing to display the dreaded sideways smiley face and a suggestion that I read up about the INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE error. Oops.
It turns out, to optimize boot times, Windows disables drivers that are deemed unnecessary for startup during installation. Herein lies the problem, if the OS is installed while the disk is in one of these other modes (in my case RAID), the driver that would allow us to speak AHCI to our speaking AHCI-speaking SATA storage controller is effectively disabled (even though it is installed). Windows, without the ability to communicate with the disk correctly, has no real option but to fall on its side with a glum expression and throw the INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE error during startup. The accusations are corroborated by the Wikipedia article on the subject of AHCI:
Some operating systems, notably Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10 do not configure themselves to load the AHCI driver upon boot if the SATA-drive controller was not in AHCI mode at the time of installation. This can cause failure to boot, with an error message, if the SATA controller is later switched to AHCI mode.
We recommend that you install the latest PV drivers to improve the stability and performance of your EC2 Windows instances. The directions on this page help you download the driver package and run the install program.
You can use Distributor, a capability of AWS Systems Manager, to install or upgrade the AWS PV driver package. The installation or upgrade can be performed one time, or you can install or update it on a schedule. The In-place update option for Installation Type isn't supported for this Distributor package.
Instead of creating the AMI from the Amazon EC2 console, you can use Systems Manager Automation to create the AMI using the AWS-CreateImage runbook. For more information, see AWS-CreateImage in the AWS Systems Manager Automation runbook reference User Guide.
When you stop an instance, the data on any instance store volumes is erased. Before you stop an instance, verify that you've copied any data that you need from your instance store volumes to persistent storage, such as Amazon EBS or Amazon S3.
