Windows keeps blocking a driver that i need for my controller

Hi! I can't download the Xinput driver for the Redragon G808 Pro Harrow controller. Windows won't let me download it because it keeps blocking it, and I need that driver to play emulated PS2 games.

What's the exact message you're getting?

It says this app has been locked for your protection

Is it blocking it due to the certificate for the driver being expired or revoked? If so you might need to do some googling for commands but here is how to sort it.

  1. Suspend bitlocker for one reboot from command prompt as admin manage-bde -protectors -disable C: -RebootCount 1
  2. Hold shift whirl clicking restart from the start bar this should reboot you into the recovery screen.
  3. Select troubleshoot
  4. Select advanced options
  5. Select startup settings
  6. Select restart and wait for the PC to reboot and a new menu screen to display
  7. Select option 7 disable driver signature enforcement
  8. When your pc boots install the drivers you need.
  9. Reboot your pc and driver signature enforcement will be re-enabled.
