PadFlow v1.2.1 — Cloak Fix: Real Errors + Administrator Elevation 🔐
🔐 PadFlow v1.2.1 — Cloak Fix: Real Errors & Administrator Elevation
What's new in this version / Novedades de la Versión 1.2.1:
- 🔐 CLOAK ALL finally works — and tells the truth when it can't:
- HidHide rejects blacklist changes from non-elevated processes, which made the app silently report "No PlayStation controllers to cloak" even with a DualSense connected (the write was failing behind the scenes).
- v1.2.1 detects elevation and shows a 🔐 banner with a "RESTART AS ADMINISTRATOR" button — one click relaunches PadFlow with UAC and cloaking works immediately.
- 🗯️ Honest diagnostics everywhere:
- Every HidHide read/write error (registry + IOCTL) is now propagated end-to-end to the UI toast with the exact cause.
- CLOAK ALL reports what it found: connected controller names, PlayStation pads detected, and per-device errors — no more silent failures.
- ⚡ Everything from v1.2.0 kept: Shield Control Center, per-controller CLOAK/UNCLOAK, global shield switch, auto-cloak on connect, cloak on startup, tray controls, live 3 s status refresh, and one-click signed auto-updates.

Note: Requires the ViGEmBus driver (v1.22.0+) for virtual Xbox 360 controller emulation. Supports the HidHide driver for anti-double-input device cloaking — PadFlow provides 1-click in-app installers for both. HidHide configuration changes require running PadFlow as Administrator (the app offers a one-click elevated relaunch).
