I thought I had found a 'fix' for it that was a bit more trivial than disabling them through Device Manager or restarting: Just run 'ScpDriver.exe', uncheck 'Bluetooth Driver' and click on Uninstall. That'll stop ScpService, which is the one keeping the DS3 positions reserved. It turns out however, that if you do what I do, you'll end up having to restart anyway if you want to use your DS3 controllers because the SCP service is then marked for deletion so you won't be able to reinstall it until you do a restart.
You can simply stop/restart the service you know? Either on the services window or on the command prompt.
Here, copy this code on notepad and create a batch.
This toggles on or off the service
Code:
@echo off
:: BatchGotAdmin
:-------------------------------------
REM --> Check for permissions
>nul 2>&1 "%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\cacls.exe" "%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\config\system"
REM --> If error flag set, we do not have admin.
if '%errorlevel%' NEQ '0' (
echo Requesting administrative privileges...
goto UACPrompt
) else ( goto gotAdmin )
:UACPrompt
echo Set UAC = CreateObject^("Shell.Application"^) > "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
set params = %*:"=""
echo UAC.ShellExecute "cmd.exe", "/c %~s0 %params%", "", "runas", 1 >> "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
"%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
del "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
exit /B
:gotAdmin
pushd "%CD%"
CD /D "%~dp0"
:--------------------------------------
NET START "SCP DS3 Service" ||NET STOP "SCP DS3 Service"
Thanks! Starting and stopping the service worked like a charm. I don't know why I didn't think of that before lol. I just did it manually through services.msc but I'm thinking of making a smaller batch file though, since I don't need the permissions check. Mine would just be the last line of yours:
NET START "SCP DS3 Service" ||NET STOP "SCP DS3 Service"

thanks for the reply , but like i said i'm not using a donngle USB i have a mother built-in bluetooth , i tested zadig and ScpServer shows the host adress and version but i cant connect the controller !!
If ScpMonitor is showing the host address for your built-in Bluetooth adapter, I'd venture a guess that something else is causing your controller not to connect. Are you plugging it in through USB? Have you tried using Wiltshire's tutorial videos? They're pretty useful:

Just asking as to not to leave any detail unchecked, but you already paired the controller right?

Yeah, this will work. It's great to be able to have a solution of some kind. I'll actually do one better. If you change the .bat file to read this:
Code:
NET STOP "SCP DS3 Service"
NET START "SCP DS3 Service"
the service will stop and start in one fell swoop, only requiring you to click on the file once. Bluetooth connections don't get reconnected unless you turn the controllers on yourself. So, hooray! This is, of course, assuming you don't need to worry about permissions. If you do, use SageX85's code as a base and change the last line to what I typed in.
I wonder how hard it would be to incorporate this functionality into the wrapper itself so that the button combo does this instead, or for there to be an alternate button combo to do this.
That's great! Thanks a lot for this improved workaround bleakassassin, it's absolutely fantastic! Let's hope Scarlet.Crush is reading this and implements a similar fix soon. Your suggestion of the L1+R1+PS button combination doing this naively sounds wonderful to me.
Anyone has DS4Pair.exe? it is missing from original SCP download, I need to Pair with SCP thru BT with other DS3 connected.
Thanks!.
