dual shock 4 wireless not pairing with adapter / windows 10

Thanks for the response but I'm not sure if you read my question thoroughly.

eveything you mention and suggest, I've already done.

its a Sony wireless adapter(USB dongle) specifically for a Sony wireless dual shock 4 controller- both made by Sony.

the application is already downloaded as I've been using the dual shock 4 controller through the application (PSN on PC)- I've been using it with a 12' USB cable as I already mentioned but I purchased the wireless adapter to be able to play wirelessly.

my question is about the wireless adapter not pairing with the dual shock 4 controller once the adapter is plugged into the USB spot on the PC and all other directions are followed to the letter.

they aren't pairing

thanks
