Ds4 suddenly not registering my linked ps5 controller

Not really sure what’s happening as I’ve been using ds4 without issue since this past summer, but suddenly it’s not recognizing my controller even when I can see under my Bluetooth settings that it’s linked. I believe my computer may have updated itself recently, so perhaps there’s some kind of compatibility issue with a recent windows update?

I checked the ds4 windows site and the software itself doesn’t seem to have been updated, so there’s not a newer version to install. I did recently get a Nintendo Switch 2 so I have two new Bluetooth controllers that I’m just using with that system, but that doesn’t seem like something that should impact my main controllers suddenly not linking to my pc.

I’m pretty tech dense but I did make an effort to dig into the troubleshooting guide. I couldn’t find the Vigem driver on my computer by searching for it so I downloaded the installer, but running it didn’t allow me to install the software- the only options it gave me were to customize, repair, or remove. But when I clicked repair I was told I was trying to modify a file that didn’t exist. I’m tired.

I have three ps5 controllers that I use exclusively with my pc, so it would be a real bummer if I suddenly just can’t use them at all and wasted all that money. Help?
