Windows 10: Ps4 controller won’t stop connecting to windows despite drivers being uninstalled

My ps4 controller has constantly been connecting to my windows computer, automatically every time i turn it on. When i remove the device, windows just asks to set it up again whenever i turn my controller on. I tried uninstalling my drivers, and they are still connected to windowsI really don’t know what to do

Unable to connect PS4 controller to PC

I can connect the ps4 controller just fine, my issue is that it wont show up at all after being paired. I have to unpair it, connect the device, enter the 4 digit code, it gets very tiresome. Method 1 didn't work because I had no greyed out devices. Method
2 I have been doing, I am just trying to figure out a quicker way to connect it.

 

PS4 Controller (bluetooth) connection issues

My PS4 controller, which worked perfectly fine with my laptop until today, now won't connect properly. I try to connect the controller, and the controller just turns off. On my laptop it says the controller is connected, but the controller is obviously not.

My drivers are all updated.

I've already tried basic steps like restarting the computer.

What should I do?
