    I've been using this controller on this pc for almost a year and a couple of days ago it just stopped working. I plug it in and the light comes on, my pc detects it, and it even shows up in steam but none of the inputs register. I heard about Ds4windows and gave that a try but still nothing. It isn't just the one controller either. None of my controllers register anymore. Tried updating the usb drivers. All up to date. tried different micro usb cables. Nothing. Please help...I miss playing Rocket League.

    :)

    PS4 controller won't work with PC

    I was playing games on PS4 controller but yesterday it stopped working. i was using Input Mapper software to emulate x360 controller.

    PS4 controller is wired. Games that can use DS4 won't work either with it.

    My PS4 controller won't connect with windows, WIRED.

    When I wire my PS4 controller to the pc, it flashes one orange light (that would indicate charging), and then turns black, and it stays like that. Earlier today it was the same, but eventually i got a security popup for DS4, i said yes and it worked. How can I fix this (controller not plugging)?
