On Windows 10, my PS4 controller can connect but the driver has an error. It is the Bluetooth HID Device under Human Interface Devices. 

How can I fix this?

    Hi Ben. I'm Greg, an installation specialist and 9 year Windows MVP, here to help you.

    First choose the Device in Device manager, click on Driver tab, then Update Driver, then Automatically. This only searches Windows Update however which should have already scanned for it unless you have drivers update disabled.

    Next Update the driver from the Device or PC maker's Support Downloads web page, using the full model number, Serial Number or Dell Service Tag on sticker. Compare the latest drivers available for download with the ones presently installed in Device Manager reached by right clicking the Start Menu. Make sure you have the latest BIOS or UEFI firmware, Chipset, Display (Video), Sound, USB3, Bluetooth, Network and all other drivers, or else download and install the latest now.

    I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and let us know how it goes. I will keep working with you until it's resolved.
