Hello, I'm having trouble with this ps2 controller, it used to work fine but suddenly it started getting the message that it wasn't recognized and stopped working. I tried everything that is in this website: https://www.groovypost.com/howto/fix-usb-not-working-windows-11/#:~:text=Restart%20Windows%2011&text=You%20may%20find%20that%20restarting,right-clicking%20the%20Start%20menu. 
and nothing worked.
I'm not sure what else I can do but I'd really like for it to work
Oh and also, I tested the controller on my boyfriend's computer (that uses linux) and it works there, so it's not the controller

can anyone help please?
