Nice, so I can allow my Win10 gaming machines to update to AU now? I think there was some other issue with SSDs too, though.

I'm on AU with an SSD and the only issue I've run into is the DS4 one, which has a very quick and simple fix. So I'd say update away.

I got @WindowsSupport on Twitter to look into the issue and linking to Hobbles topic in the string. Hoping this gets fixed and everyone can use all the stuff easily again.
Can you go into DS4 exclusive mode for games that use both Direct and Xinput though? That is, hide the DS4's DirectInput? Because that's the issue here, anything that doesn't accept DirectInput in the first place or works natively with the DS4 properly is a non-issue, while for games like Dark Souls it's screwy.

Here's hoping, the fix is a pain to run through everytime when playing a game.
It's not fixed in the build that fixes xbox one controllers at least.
The xbox one controller fix was a driver update, the cause for the DS4 issue is not something you might fix with a driver update, from what I've read anyway.

Hopefully this gets solved if/when Sony releases the actual ds4 drivers that may/may not come with their new dongle, such a pita having to cycle and reconnect depending on the game, and the ds4 is a damn good pc controller so it makes it that much worse having to screw around to get things working properly.

New W10 cumulative update is out today:
September 13, 2016 KB3189866 (OS Build 14393.187)
If anyone here is currently using 1607 (Anniversary) and can confirm whether the Exclusive Mode issue was solved, I'd be thankful myself.

Seems it wasn't adressed at all. Neither on the fixes nor on the complete affected file list I can't see anything regarding the error.
Trails in the Sky has reasonable function with DirectInput although you may need to disable the right stick. But it's not a big deal to use the shoulder buttons for camera control in a game like this (Cold Steel would be irritating though.)
It turns out that my Dolphin Bar was actually conflicting with the DS4, haha.

Not at all.
Do you run the exclusive tool prior to opening ds4w or inputmapper?
Is a tiny little hassle but its not insurmountable.
e-Oh it already mentioned in the thread. Yeah the tool will get it to work without much legwork. Its a none issue 99% of the time but microsoft should just fix it already.

It's a setting internal to each program that prevents your computer from seeing two controller iputs. You have to cycle the clients prior to turning on those programs in order for it to work in exclusive mode.
Annoyance right now more than anything.
So im having a problem (to be fair I had this on Windows 7 as well, but not as prevalent)
Im directly jacked in with a usb cable, and my character in dark souls starts spinning, Circle button is X, and some other weird changes. I cant get inputmapper to take over.
Any solutions? It works occasionally but seems to be a fluke when it does.

That's the exact problem this thread is talking about. The game is receiving both Xinput and DirectInput commands at the same time. Try the Exclusive Mode tool.

Dammit...My system updated and now my DS4Windows is not recognizing my controller.
So I was having issues, even using the exclusive mode fix tool, and turns out somebody made a fork of DS4Windows that automates the process. Somebody compiled the .exe and it's here: https://github.com/Jays2Kings/DS4Windows/issues/142#issuecomment-247760352. Kinda sketchy downloading a random .exe, but hey, I replaced my original DS4Windows.exe and it works!
Also, I tried out InputMapper to see if it was an issue w/ DS4Windows (I knew it wasn't, but I was getting frustrated) and lemme just say I don't see why anybody would use that over DS4Windows.

A new update was released recently
September 20, 2016 KB3193494 (OS Builds 14393.187 and 14393.189)
Anyone here can confirm if the issue was solved? Thanks in advance
PS: ScpToolkit has the same problem as DS4windows /Inputmapper on the 1607 win10 build?

This is just a fixed rehash of the bugged September 13 update (installation loop issue)
DS4Windows was updated, exclusive mode working again for me. Win10 build 14393.187.

DS4 no longer working without controller being plugged in.
It wasn't working last week either... I did play Dark Souls 3 a few weeks ago just fine, wirelessly, but there have been windows updates since then.
Any ideas?

I switched to Input Mapper and it works fine now.
The steam beta also supports the Dualshock 4 now. The config can be accessed through big picture mode and works with just about anything. It behaves like the Steam controller.
You folks who are still soldiering on with the Dualshock 4 in Windows are true digital warriors/masochists. The "it's broken, now it's not broken" saga over the past year drove me to buy an Xbox One controller (and later elite) months ago. That you're still having to deal with a third party driver solution that breaks randomly with every update is bad enough, but the fact that Sony released a wireless dongle that didn't include drivers to map the input to xinput is just icing on the cake. How much more could Sony do to convince the world that they couldn't possibly care less if Windows users buy their controllers. Thank goodness for Steam/Valve I guess.
The Steam beta also completely breaks exclusive mode in InputMapper and I assume, DS4Windows. I'm not willing to try it for that exact reason, because if I don't like it, I can't go back to what I'm used to.

Considering the number of games that have had broken Xbox One controller support I'm not sure you're any better off. In any case Sony could not sell the DS4 as Xinput compatible without changing all the buttons glyphs to match the Xbox ones. The DS4 works brilliantly in games that offer direct support and the Steam controller support has been pretty bulletproof.
I've only used DS4 windows. I'll give it a test with Dark Souls and see if it breaks it. I'll let you know later tonight.
edit: I'll test both steam and DS4 windows separately.

Steam's Support is a complete replacement of DS4Windows/Input Mapper. You should never try and run them simultaneously.
I'm using the windows 10 Anniversary update and both the Steam Beta and DS4Windows work without issues on the original Dark Souls. You'll just need to turn off one to use the other. You'll also have to disconnect / reconnect the controller when switching between programs. Other than that both work just fine.
Personally, I think the steam beta offers a better experience as you'll also gain access to community configs / personal customization.
Fair enough, but I didn't swap the XBOne controller until all those problems had been ironed out (after I was sick of playing the driver game with my extra DS4). I wasn't aware that there was legal obligation to change the button symbols for an xinput controller. Out of curiosity, where did you find that information? I'm interested in reading more about it but apparently my google-fu is weak.

Could I launch, say, RetroArch or Launchbox from Steam and gain the controller support?
