    Dualshock 4 not detected by windows


    For half a month now, I've been trying to figure out why my ps4 controller suddenly stopped working. I've tried working this out with steam support but even clean booting doesn't fix this. I've tried removing this device in device manager and removing the HID part of it as well to no avail. Any way I can try to get my dualshock working again?

    :)

    Old title: Bluetooth won't work

    Im trying to pair my dualshock 4 controller with my pc and it won't work. I had no issues until I used it with my ps4. It gets detected under the Bluetooth settings as wireless controller When I click
    pair it does nothing for 10-30 seconds then says "that didn't work"
