    Ps4 controller not recognized in Device Manager

    I've played with my ps4 controller for a while on pc but suddenly it doesnt work anymore. I suspect it's from last windows update but I can't say for sure.
    Ds4 windows won't recognize my device, I tried installing drivers with SCPToolkit but my controller doesn't show on "Select dualshock 4 to install" just my mouse, keyboard and headset.

    On the device manager I can't see any HID controller or general wireless controller. By plugging and unplugging my device in different usb ports on my MOBO I managed to get a "setting up wireless controller device" and got the light of the controller start flashing, but after a few seconds it just died again.

    I'll post some pics of my device manager and SCPToolkit to make you understand better the situation.

    P.S. I forgot to mention the controller works on the PS4 and the usb cables I tried (about 4) work on phone to charge and transfer file.

    P.S#2 I even tried with PS4 remote play, the controller works to remotely operate the ps4, but as soon as I close the remote play and open up DS4Windows it goes blank again.

    Also, I just tried plugging it back into my PS4, as maybe to reinstall the drivers automatically.

    However, the PS4 didn't even pick up on it being a PS4 controller.

    PS4 controller is not conecting to PC

    Hi Furious

    Greetings! I am Vijay, an Independent Advisor.

    Windows Key+X > Device Manager > View (on top) > Show hidden devices > Locate PS4 controller > Right click >

    1. Uninstall and restart your computer (keep your PS4 controller attached)

    2. If above doesn't work, right click and Update driver
