Windows 10: Ps5 controller with USB plugged in not connecting

I had used my controller for years on my PC with no problems. I got a ps5 recently and connected it to my ps5 and now it won't reconnect back to my PC. I've tried to press the reset button on the back. I've pressed with ps button a million times. I've made sure it's plugged in. So I'm not sure why since it's been connected to my ps5 that it doesn't work. Am I dumb? or what?

PS5 Controller won't connect to PC through Bluetooth or wired connection

I bought a PS5 on launch day, and have been using the controller both on the PS5 and my computer since then, and it has worked perfectly wired until recently, when the port got loose and the connection was no longer stable. This wasn't a major issue, I just switched it to Bluetooth and kept going, however, I changed the connection from my PC to my PS5 for the first time since switching to Bluetooth, and when I tried to change it back I started having issues.

In windows settings, it lists my controller as 'paired,' however I cannot fully connect the controller to play games, and when I try removing it it gives the message "remove failed." I have tried removing it while I have it plugged in, and have gone into device management, but it is not listed there. When I try to set my PS5 controller and PC to Bluetooth discovery, my PC does not pick up my controller as something it can reconnect to.

My PC doesn't have native Bluetooth, so I use a dongle from the company Insignia with model number 'BCM20702A0' which has also worked before this, but is now giving me a 'driver is unavailable' message, despite installing the proper driver for it and using it for months. When I use the driver update process, either automatic or manual, my computer gives me the message that the best drivers are already installed. I have also used devmgmt to disconnect and reconnect this as well.

I have been unable to play any of my normal controller games on PC for over two weeks now, and have tried anything I could find online, any advice would be extremely appreciated.

 

PS5 controller problem with PC

Dear Support!

I have a special problem with my PS5 controller. I used to play games with it, the PC recognized it and worked perfectly fine. One day it does not light up, the system does not recognize, the system thinks there is no controller connected, but there is. If I connect the PS5 controller to my laptop, it works without any problem. I've read a previous question with this problem, I also tried everything but I find something out. One of my USB port is not working. I tried to connect any working external device, but the port is not working. Can one wrong port cause this issue, where anything is working well in other ports except the PS5 controller?

Thanks for replying my question.
Best regards,
István
