PS3 controller with Windows 10

I don't know if this is the right place to ask this, but has anyone been able to use a PS3 controller with Windows 10 yet?
I've tried Motioninjoy, Better DS3, and this method, none of which have worked. Motioninjoy gave me error codes which didn't allow the drivers to isntall, Better DS3 wouldn't work because the Motioninjoy drivers wouldnt install, and the SCP method won't work because it won't allow me to implement their drivers, saying mine are already up to date.
Every method I've tried had been a dead end, but I'd much rather try to get my PS3 controller to work then pay like $30 for an Xbox controller
Solved! Go to Solution.

Some thing is broken on your system..... Try the compatability modes and Manual installing not express...

The reason it isnt working is because Windows 10 is not allowing the install of the relevant drivers needed for your controller to work.
Do the following and after restarting, try installing the drivers through MotionInJoy again:
Disabling Driver Signature Enforcement In Windows 10 Permanently
Step 1. Open the Windows command promt as “Run as Administrator”.
Step 2. Run “bcdedit -set loadoptions DISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS” (without the “”).
Step 3. To finalize the process run “bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING ON” (without the “”).
Step 4. Reboot and you’re done.
If you would like to disable this again in the future, do step 1 and run these commands on step 2 and 3:
Step 2. “bcdedit -set loadoptions ENABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS” (without the “”)
Step 3. “bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING OFF” (without the “”)
Then do step 4 and you’re done.
Step 4. Reboot and you’re done.
I would also recommend that you keep monitoring the web for guides later on that shows how to use the PS3/PS4 controller on Windows 10 without the need for MotionInJoy. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=51004
I was using Better DS3 with Win8.1 but this tool is not compatible with Win10.

In order to get DS3 working on Windows 10 you need to disable driver signature enforcement.
To do this follow these steps.
a. Press the Win + C and click on PC settings.
b. Switch over to the “Update & recovery” section.
c. Then click on the Recovery option on the left hand side.
d. Once selected, you will see an advanced startup section appear on the right hand side. You will need to click on the “Restart now” button.
e. Once your Computer has rebooted you will need to choose the Troubleshoot option.
f. Then head into Advanced options.
g. Then Startup Settings.
h. The computer will restart.
I. Here you will be given a list of startup settings that you can change. The one we are looking for is “Disable driver signature enforcement”. To choose the setting, you will need to press the F7 key.
Once that is done, install motionjoy as you usually would and remember to say install anyway when it asks if you are ok with installing an unsigned driver.
Then install better DS3.

Games still have to support the different controll drivers... if they don't support the driver. Youll need to change driver mode to the other versions...
Connect the DS3 then open the Driver downloader... install driver for DS3...
Then select DX...
Try DX first but check the DPad first for adjust meant , layout might need changing a bit...
Then try Xinput... If you want custom controlls in game you have to use DX... things like Stream wont allow custom controlls With Xinput...

I've read that Win+C activates Cortana listening mode.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_key
Interestingly you have copied the exact description from microsoft regrding W10 technichal preview.
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/insider/forum/i
So my question is simply. Is it really Win + C for Cortana or whatever it shortcuts in your description?
Could you describe the regular route? Is it what used to be called the control panel?
I am still on W7 so that's why I have no clue what this does first hand and I will not install W10 before I know I can use my controllers.
Thanks guys
