Windows 10: PS3 Controller with SCP Driver stopped working after restart

Using this tutorial here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpSaOJJIun8 which by the way, works flawlessly on Windows 7, will not work for me on Windows 10 despite numerous comments (including the OP) claiming that it works flawlessly with Windows 10.

All the required software is indeed installed on my Windows 10 laptop (Lenovo b570) including the driver. Upon first boot after upgrading to Windows 10, I found that I just needed to reinstall the driver, it worked again—until the first restart. Now the controller will not work anymore no matter what I do! I tried restarting the laptop a number of times, I tried installing the driver again and again, and again, still will not work. I tried unplugging the controller and plugging it back in, nothing. I even tried different USB ports and still the controller will not work. I then tried the controller on a Windows 7 desktop and it works like a charm so it is NOT the controller *Sad

I then tried reinstalling all the required software, but each and every one, it tells me that it is already installed.

I seem to be the only person who this is not working for under Windows 10. There are dozens of comments on that video claiming that it works under Windows 10, and I am the ONLY person complaining that it is NOT working under Windows 10!

I was wondering if anybody here can figure out what is wrong because nobody else is having this problem—only me!

Ps3 controller for windows

So, I were able to use controller normally by downloading drivers. Ones it didnt work properly on a game. I tried fixing it but ended up somehow deleting "xbox 360 controller for windows" option from device manager. Now it doesn't show that i have connected
360 controller and i can't find where i could reinstall that option. Now my ps3 controller just flashed lights but doesnt connect and end up not being on. What the hell is this? Tried to update drivers, download everything i found, but no. Windows shows thst
there is ps3 controller plugged in but the controller doesn't light up or connect or do anything? What can i do to connect my ps3 controller? And i have already downloaded and installed all the drivers for the controller
