Windows 10: Controller recognized but not working.

When I plug up my DualShock 4 controllers to my pc via USB it shows them in my device settings as a working controller but no other games or applications will even acknowledge that it's plugged in. The controllers work on any other device just not my pc. The last thing I used my controller for before this was for ACO using the project stream thing.

Xbox One controller being recognized as a 360 Controller

Hi Stephan,

There are several reasons why your Xbox One controller is detected as an Xbox 360 controller by your PC. It is possible that the controller is not updated or if you previously used an Xbox 360 controller on the PC, it is still detecting its drivers instead
of the Xbox One controller drivers. To properly isolate your concern, please clarify the following information:

• Have you used an Xbox 360 controller on the same computer before?
• Does the error message occur on all of the games that you play?
• Have you tried to update the controller?
• Are you using an Xbox One Elite controller?

In the meantime, we suggest that you update the controller by following the steps on this

link.

Since none of the troubleshooting steps here worked, I'd suggest you do a Clean install.
