Bug description

DS4Windows doesn't detect the controller if I add the application from the directory junction, meanwhile it works if I add it from the real directory

Steps to reproduce

  • Install ds4windows from Scoop.
  • Add the DS4Windows executable to the application whitelist from the directory junction (current)
  • Hide the controller
  • Open DS4Windows

Actual result: The controller is not detected in DS4Windows
Expected result: It is supposed to access the hidden controller.

DS4Windows chose to not use the provided API but do their own implementation, can neither vouch nor fix anything they do.

The build I'm testing it on the screenshot is from https://github.com/CircumSpector/DS4Windows, maybe it is something you can look at?
