There are three kinds of WDM drivers: bus drivers, function drivers, and filter drivers.
@milkyjoe2 It should be called Virtual Bus Driver, as far as I remember. Virtual something, at least. If you already removed the driver, it won't show up in the device manager, and all you have to do now is delete all the DS4Windows files from your hard drive. This is how you can safely organize your files and folders. Generally, you can create your desired number of partitions in your computer when running the Windows setup. But what, if you feel the necessity of an extra drive in future? In that scenario, you could mount any folder as virtual drive if you’re in Windows operating system. Jan 31, 2017 Hello, I've decided to reinstall my DS4 Drivers because I had an issue with my PS4 Gamepad, it suddenly stopped getting any signal from DS4 Windows and acted as a simple PS4 Gamepad. Upon reinstalling, all DS4Windows is doing is 'Opening.
In this context, a bus is any device to which other physical, logical, or virtual devices are attached; a bus includes traditional buses such as SCSI and PCI, as well as parallel ports, serial ports, and i8042 ports.
It is important for driver developers to understand the different kinds of WDM drivers and to know which kind of driver they are writing. For example, whether a driver handles each Plug and Play IRP and how to handle such IRPs depends on what kind of driver is being written (bus driver, function driver, or filter driver).
The following figure shows the relationship between the bus driver, function driver, and filter drivers for a device.
Each device typically has a bus driver for the parent I/O bus, a function driver for the device, and zero or more filter drivers for the device. A driver design that requires many filter drivers does not yield optimal performance.
The drivers in the previous figure are the following:
A bus driver services a bus controller, adapter, or bridge. Bus drivers are required drivers; there is one bus driver for each type of bus on a machine. Microsoft provides bus drivers for most common buses. IHVs and OEMs can provide other bus drivers.
A bus filter driver typically adds value to a bus and is supplied by Microsoft or a system OEM. There can be any number of bus filter drivers for a bus.
Lower-level filter drivers typically modify the behavior of device hardware. They are optional and are typically supplied by IHVs. There can be any number of lower-level filter drivers for a device.
A function driver is the main driver for a device. A function driver is typically written by the device vendor and is required (unless the device is being used in raw mode).

Upper-level filter drivers typically provide added-value features for a device. They are optional and are typically provided by IHVs.

Hello, I've decided to reinstall my DS4 Drivers because I had an issue with my PS4 Gamepad, it suddenly stopped getting any signal from DS4 Windows and acted as a simple PS4 Gamepad. Apparently the bandwidth limit had been exceeded and I'm pretty sure the installer gets files from said website, it opens the installer and downloads the required files to install DS4 Drivers. Could you help me out solve this problem? Do you have a copy of your DS4 Windows for offline installation usage? |
@xdantey The site appears to be up at this time. If you are referring to 'Step 1: Install the DS4 Driver', then you are correct in regards to the installer retrieving a file from the site (http://ds4windows.com/Files/Virtual Bus Driver.zip). I would suggest downloading that file if there have been intermittent site outages. Simply running and installing ScpDriver should address the first step. |
so im getting the Bandwidth Limit Exceeded The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to the site owner reaching his/her bandwidth limit. Please try again later. error when i try to just pull up the standard site.. does anyone have the vbus file downloaded? if so can your share it? cuz the site is most def not functioning ATM. |
I'm also hitting this, why is that not included in the release package> |
i found a workaround |
You can get the zip from WayBack Machine. (https://web.archive.org/web/20170311022846/http://ds4windows.com/Files/Virtual%20Bus%20Driver.zip) |
Yes, just run ScpDriver.exe and after that start DS4Windows and the Install window won't pop up (at least on win10) |
yup. and i couldn't find that location prior to what i found. the more options the better imo. |
You can grab it from here. And yes, I have not bothered to buy a domain name. |

go to https://github.com/Ryochan7/DS4Windows/releases |
wow almost a year and no fix? |
Thank you so much Gumija and Ryochan7 for the ScpDriver.exe solution, I was also facing this annoying problem. |
I cannot detect the PS4 controller ; What I do ? |
My suggestion to all is to use input mapper. It's an alternate program since this one is no longer properly supported. Consider the unofficial successor. |
I test InputMapper fairly frequently but neither version 1.6 nor 1.7 work that well. Neither version can get the most basic DS4 to XInput mapping system right. Toshiba f3507g driver windows 10. There have been some interesting developments but Wobbles really should have just focused on getting XInput mapping working well with 1.7 before jumping into implementing other features. Testing the most recent 1.7 build (1.7.6811.34320) with HTML5 Gamepad Tester shows that the full analog stick range is not even being used for the output XInput device. |
Again it's an alternative. Use whatever works for you. This is the option for those that don't want to try and debug this.. Our can't get this working.. Input mapper is another option. That one is just actively supported. Just updated this month.. Not saying one is necessarily better then the other.. Everyone can choose for what to use. But may not know of other options. |
Still an issue |
