Hello Shawntez, welcome to the Microsoft community, I'll be happy to help you today;

I was having the same problem here, what happens is a "bug" between connected bluetooth devices;

Try removing all bluetooth devices connected to the PC;

Press Windows key + i and access Bluetooth and other devices;

Click on View more devices;

Remove all Bluetooth devices, including the PS4 controller;

Now try connecting the controller again;

Click on Add a Bluetooth device;

Click Bluetooth;

Hold the Share + PS button until the back light is flashing;

When the control is displayed, click on it and it should be connected;

Open DS4Windows and verify that the control now works;

Hope this helps, see you soon!
