  1. PS4 controller not detected by windows 10


    So basically, tried most trouble shoots. Installed DS4, installed xbox controller drivers etc and still nothing works. The issue isnt that it is not working, the issue is that when plugged in all the controller does it shows the yellow charing light and nothing else. Nothing changes in things like device manager or anything too, so uninstalling drivers to reinstall them isnt and option

  2. 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

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Community.

    Appreciate your efforts to work on this issue.

    1. Are you aware of any changes made to the PC prior to this issue?
    2. Does the PC recognize other USB devices when plugged in to the front USB port?

    The reasons could be Power Supply issues, Power Management settings, Outdated or damaged USB drivers and damaged USB Ports.

    Let us try these methods one by one and check if that makes any difference.

    Method A: Suggest you to plug in the device and run the troubleshooter tool to automatically diagnose and fix Windows USB problems:
    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/17614/automatically-diagnose-and-fix-windows-usb-problems

    Once this is done, restart the computer and check if that works for you.

    I would like to let you know that there's a tiny pinhole on the back of the controller near a screw, by the L2 trigger button. Try pressing that in to see if it clears it up. In Windows 10, it just shows up as "wireless controller".

    Alternatively, you may also want to connect the PS4 device to a different computer and check if it works.

    Method B: You can also update the USB controllers from Device Manager to check if that helps you.

    1. Press Windows key + X and click on Device Manager.
    2. Double Click on USB Controllers to expand.
    3. Right click on the USB Controllers that is listed and select Update.
    Once this is done, restart the computer and plug in the device and check if that works.

    Hope this helps.

    Let us know if you got the help you needed.

    Regards,

    Srimadhwa B

    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.
