PS4 Controllers not working on pc

Anonymous

When I plug in either one of my two PS4 controllers to my pc to play games, the bar flashes orange to indicate they're charging but the controllers do not give any input into the pc. I have tried on multiple games and tests online. The controllers do get recognised as devices, but do not give input. The controllers do work on the PS4 and were working previously today. issue started after a windows update but since removing said update issue has still persisted. Controllers are charged/charging but yet give no input. On some occasions the controllers act as speakers but still give no input to the pc. Issue is not fixed when connected wirelessly or wired.

Help please?

    I just Plugged the controller in and now it's being registered as an audio device and can be selected in the sound section. It still doesn't work as an input device

    The Controller devices and everything in the Human Interface Devices section were already enabled. To make sure I disabled them all and reenabled them but the controller is still not being picked up on DS4windows

    Hi, Sl1meball

    How are you? Welcome to the Microsoft community!

    My name is Juliana, I'm an independent advisor, I'm here to help you in the best possible way.

    Download DS4 Windows

    1. After downloading open DS4 Windows and connect the DS4 controller.
    2. Click the Windows + R keys
    3. In Run type: devmgmt.msc and OK
    4. Will Open Device Manager Tab
    5. Click Human Interface Devices
    6. Right-click the HID-compatible game controller and select Enable Device.
    7. Close and check if DS4 Windows is detecting the controller

    I'm waiting for news

    Hope this helps!

    We will create a new local user or admin account in Windows 10 to see if the user is corrupt

    After creation, test and see if it works.
