Need to figure out how to Connect my PS4 Controller with windows back again
So Essentially ive been using my ps4 controller through bluetooth for about 3 years already, earlier today i faced a problem where my controller wouldnt connect, this happens often so my go to fix is to remove device and pair it again.
And more times than no the remove fails in the bluetooth page anyway.
today for some reason it didnt work, i looked online for a solution and i got suggested to uninstall the device in the bluetooth device in the device manager, so i did then i restarted my laptop, without even trying to connect my controller, the device just popped pack up in device manager.
so i removed it again, scanned for hardware changes and its back again without me doing anything or restarting
Then another thing that also changed is, that normally the wireless controller fails to get removed, but after doing the stuff above i gets removed immediately but when i restart my system it comes right back.
I must also mention that im unable to use my controller through usb as well after this, and ive tried factory resetting the controller a couple times as well
My OS Build No: 26200.7922
would absolutely appreciate any help or advice pls and thanks !!
