    Windows 10 PC won't recognize PS4 controller plugged in via USB

    When i plug in my PS4 controller to a PC, i get the infamous "yellow light of death" where the controller shows a brief yellow light before fading. I've tried looking this up but nothing seems to solve the problem. My controller worked yesterday evening
    perfectly but today it suddenly stopped working. Also, neither my PC nor my laptop recognize the controller in "devices and drivers" -menu, nor do i get the windows sound when i plug in a device.

    The methods i've tried for solving this so far have been:

    • Plugging the controller to another PC (my laptop),
    • uninstalling all USB and HID drivers and rebooting,
    • pushing the reset button on the controller and rebooting the PC,
    • trying multiple different usb slots on both of my PC and laptop,
    • Pushing the PS button and options+share buttons to try to connect/recognize it via bluetooth,
    • Trying multiple different usb cables.

    I did manage to connect my controller via bluetooth to my laptop, but i had pre-installed a driver(scptoolkit) of my controller to that computer. The laptop still couldn't recognize the usb connection i had plugged in. The bluetooth connection worked flawlessly
    on my laptop but i can't use that on my PC.

    Any suggestions?

    I would greatly appreciate all help.

    DS4/PS4 Controller not recognized correctly. PC. Windows 10.

    I previously had issues with my PS4 controller not being recognized correctly on my pc, and found a fix on a windows support page but it's not something a lot know about, so it's hard to find again.

    It was a small three lettered abbreviation that i would run through "run", opening a window showing me how my bluetooth devices, possibly all input devices, were recognized on my pc. I was able to change my ps4 controller to a vjoy device and more.

    If someone has heard of this or knows something please let me know.

    cpl jpl crt cpl vtj AHHHHHHHH!
