PS5 Controller is not working anymore as it used to on windows 10 & 11

Hi , ApostolosGeorgakopoulos.

In the Control Panel, under Hardware and Sound, select Devices and Printers.

Right-click on the Wireless Controller and select remove device and check delete driver.

Hi , ApostolosGeorgakopoulos.

I am Ivan, I will help you with this.

I had a similar problem with the Dualsense 5, I had to uninstall its driver in Windows with STEAM closed, then use another USB-C cable to connect and reinstall the driver, then I just updated the controller.

This worked for a while until the same thing happened and then I started using Dualsense X to solve the problem definitively.

I had no problems with steam games as steam helps to play the games with no problem. Now I was playing again Hogwarts via Bluetooth with ps5 controller and everything was fine. But when I connect via USB is not fine. Via Bluetooth when I go to the Bluetooth & Devices, I find my controller in the Input category. When I connect it with USB it is in the Audio category. If I disable it as Audio device, it goes to the other devices category.

I'm having a similar issue and I';ve been pulling my hair out trying to figure it out.

I bought a DualSense a month ago for Returnal. Occasionally Returnal would crash, no big, restart and I'm back where I was. The last time I played, there was a crash, and I decided I was done for the night. The next day I tried playing Warzone 2.0 and the game would freeze at startup splash screen. I did all kinds of troubleshooting to determine that it was due to the DualSense being plugged in. Once unplugged, the game booted fine. Then I went to play Returnal again. Plugged in the controller and the game locked up during the loading title screens. I unplugged the controller and the game booted up fine. I started the game again, loaded my save and I was in-game, and the moment I plugged the controller in, the game locked up. I'm using USB wired only, not bluetooth. This is required to get the feedback in Returnal working as designed.I loaded the Sony Firmware Updater software for Dual Sense and that application now freezes when I plug in the controller. If I plug in this controller into my laptop and run the same firmware application, it detects it fine and tells me the latest firmware is installed on the controller. Same USB cable, just different machine. On my PC, I can see the controller is detected by the OS just fine when I plug it in, but any attempt to load a game or application that initializes the controller, it freezes the app/game. I have no idea why it's doing this and not sure what else I should be checking. I bought this controller for Returnal, and now I can't even use it for that game.What I have done so far :+ Uninstalled Steam+ Run the SFC and DISM to repair damaged system files

• Graphics driver already the latest
• BIOS already the latest
• All Windows updates current
• Full mem test clearedI see an event logs after plugging in the controller:
  Error setting traits on Provider {8444a4fb-d8d3-4f38-84f8-89960a1ef12f}. Error: 0xC0000001     EVENT ID 28I'm running Win11 x64. Any help or suggestions and I would be grateful. This was working fine on the March 2nd, and then not on March 3rd. This has been driving me nuts. This same controller and cable works on my laptop no issues, no Admin event logs there

Hello Mr  Ivan,

How do I uninstall its drivers? just remove the device through device manager?

Yours sincerely,
