  1. 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

    :)

  3. Computer is not detecting ps4 controller

    I play games using ps4 controller. But yesterday I had an issue, when I plugged in my controller, I saw a fading yellow light and ds4 didn’t recognize my controller.

    I had the similar issue before and know that I should find "driver error" in the Settings, then I remove the device, plug out the controller, plug it again and everything worked fine.

    However yesterday I didn’t find the controller in the Devices and Windows stopped detecting this controller

    Computer is not detecting ps4 controller

    Hello Becky,

    Did you change anything to your system prior to the issue?

    There are several reasons that might cause this issue: Power Supply issues, Power Management settings, Outdated or damaged USB drivers and damaged USB Ports.

    So I would suggest you try to check the above problems. Please follow the methods below:

    Method 1: Let’s run the troubleshooting tool to automatically diagnose and fix Windows USB problems:

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/17614/...


    When you are done restart your PC and check the status of the issue.

    After that press a pinhole on the back of the controller near a screw, by the L2 trigger button to see if it clears it up. In Windows 10 it just shows up as "wireless controller".

    You can also connect your PS4 device to another computer and check if it makes any difference.

    Method 2: Try updating the USB controllers from Device Manager:

    Press Windows key + X and tap on Device Manager

    Double click on USB Controllers

    Right click on the USB Controllers that is listed and choose Update.

    When you are done restart your PC and plug in the device and check if it makes any difference.
