    PS4 Controller not working


    I recently reset my PC and after doing so using a controller doesn't work at all on my laptop. I can use it on other devices with the same USB cord and it works there though. Under my Device manager I cant get under the category "sound, video, and game controllers" to show what it used to which is "game controller" I think it was. Also under Human Interface Devices I now cant get HID-compliant game controller to show up even under hidden devices. I've tried restarting my pc again, getting DS4 windows, reinstalling usb drivers, and much more but it seemingly does nothing.

    :)

    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.

    I can't pair my ps4 controller since 1703 update

    • Is your PS4 controller compatible with the updated Windows 10?
    I don't know, but before the update everything is working fine.

    • Have you tried using a different controller and still got the same result?
    No.

    • Have you also tried connecting a different Bluetooth device and still failed to work?
    No.

    • Are you receiving an error message when trying to connect your PS4 controller? If yes, what is the error message you're receiving?
    None. I don't receive any error message. When I plugged the bluetooth to my pc then try to pair my controller the light will blink and stays on a solid color (that means it was connected) then after a seconds the light will turn off
    and my controller will not work but when I look into settings in bluetooth device it shows that my controller is still connected but it's not working.
