  1. My Ps4 controller isn't being detected by my PC


    Hi, I recently changed my motherboard and as part of that, I upgraded to windows 11. Since then, I've been unable to connect my Ps4 controller wired. When I plug the controller in, it will light up orange indicating that it does charge, but when I press the Playstation button, it just flashes white for a few seconds before switching off. It also won't show in the settings "devices" section while the controller is flashing. It worked before I changed the motherboard and I'm sure the USB port is working so I tried updating DS4Windows to no avail. I'm not sure what else I can do as everything

    :)

  3. PC won't detect ps4 controller

    Hi,

    I'm Jen, a fellow user and independent advisor.

    You have to trick your Windows PC by installing DS4 Windows to emulate Sony controller as an Xbox controller.

    The troubleshooting from the link below might be able to help you out. Check under "How To Get A PS4 Controller To Work On PC"

    PC won't detect ps4 controller

    Hey guys, so I've been playing my steam games with a ps4 controller. I never had the need for ds4, i would just plug my controller in and it would automatically connect. Now for some reason my pc just won't detect my controller at all. I've tried updating
    drivers, the cord is fine, the controller is fine, tried resetting the controller, the ports also work for other things. Tried basically everything I could that I found.

    Anyone have any kind of solution to this, would appreciate it
