Windows 10: How do I make "H.I.D-compliant Game Controller" not hidden so I can reenable and connect...

I've just noticed while trying to use ds4 windows that the driver "H.I.D-compliant Game Controller" was hidden. I have done research and found disabling this and reenabling it can help fix the problem with the ps4 DualShock controller not being able to connect to ds4 windows. I guess really I'm asking two questions here: How do I install H.I.D compliant game controllers so i can disable then re enable, and how to connect my controllers to ds4 windows.

:)

 

HID compliant game controller driver is gone

I noticed my ps4 controller wasnt connecting to ds4 windows so i checked my drivers and noticed that hid compliant game controller was hidden so i uninstalled it and now i cant reinstall it and my controller doesnt work without it please help

 

hid-compliant game controller is gone

My hid-compliant game controller driver is gone. When plugging in the controller no sound is made and the driver isn't automatically installed. I checked device manager and the hidden devices - nothing. How can I get the driver back?

Thank you

 

New gamepad controller works properly only when wired, not with included dongle

Hi again, thanks for the responses. In attempting the troubleshooting steps you outlined, I noticed some things while looking at the Device Manager and Device tab of the Control Panel.

- In Device Manager, the Xbox 360 Controller for Windows device does not show up when the controller is plugged in via the dongle. Well rather, it is still there, but it's hidden - I have to turn on Show Hidden Devices to see it - and when I click on Properties, the box in the General tab says "Currently, this hardware device is not connected to the computer (Code 45). To fix this problem, reconnect this hardware device to the controller."
- In the Device tab of the Control Panel, right-clicking on "BEITONG A1N2 BFM DONGLE" (with the controller connected via dongle) and selecting Properties, then going to the Hardware tab, lists several device functions:

1. HID-compliant device
   
2. HID-compliant game controller
   
3. HID-compliant mouse
   
4. USB Composite Device
   
5. USB Input Device
   
6. USB Input Device
   

Meanwhile, right-clicking on "BEITONG A1N2 XINPUT GAMEPAD" (while the controller is connected via USB cord) lists different device functions:

1. HID-compliant game controller
   
2. USB input device
   
3. Xbox 360 Controller for Windows
   

So, I'd guess that in order for the controller to work properly, the "BEITONG A1N2 BFM DONGLE" would have to have the HID-compliant mouse device function removed, and the Xbox Controller 360 for Windows device function added. Any idea how I can accomplish that?
