    PC not detecting PS4 controller


    Hello, Today I tried playing Fifa 22 after a month of not playing it. In this month I restore=d my pc so all drivers probably were deleted. But when I try to connect my PS4 controller, or with bluetooth or with USB neither way it is working. The controller is not appearing somewhere in device's manager and I tried several things like, reinstalling bluetooth/usb drivers. I tried hard-resetting the controller and also tested it on my PS4 where it worked fine.I looked up a lot of answers on internet but non of them worked. So I hope someone could help me out.

    :)

    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

    PC won't detect ps4 controller

    Hello Paul,

    I have used DS4 for years. It seems that the main problem is Windows 10! However, try these

    steps     first and hope they work. If they do not, please feel free to reach out. Thanks!

    -Eric
