  1. Connecting controller to pc


    Hi ive been trying to connect my controller to my pc, I have watched a lot of videos including DS4windows. When I plug in my controller it does make a sounds but then the light of the controller turns off again.

    I just bought the controller today so that shouldnt be the issue. When I go to my control panel the device shows up as Wireless controler but in the category ‘unknown’


    i was really looking forward to play some games, so I hope i can still fix it!

    :)
