That is considered a Windows security feature. It is an intentional limitation with the SendInput API. There are two ways around such behavior depending on what windows you interact with.

  1. Run DS4Windows as the Administrator
  2. Use FakerInput rather than SendInput

Not sure about fakerinput, will have to take a look at that.

I thought DS4W was always running as admin. Do you think making DS4W as a task with admin privileges will be enough?
