Additional context
For the games, I'm using the EA app, so I can't just use Steam's solution.

Tried both with and without fakerInput and also with and without admin rights. Yet none worked. Also, some notes that a month-ish ago I could play perfectly. So I'm not sure, maybe some system update broke it?

Yes, of course, I tried pressing buttons. On the screenshot you can see - for MS Edge, it works perfectly and shows the movement, but on Firefox it just doesn't show up. (Same with NFS Unbound)

Seems you have two potential problems:

1. HidHide is not installed, and both your physical DS4 and emulated X360 are thus conflicting.
2. Your XInput slot 1 is hijacked by another process.

Look at the Output Slots tab. If the slot indicates XInput 2, some apps like Firefox will not detect your controller.
