I tried all of these and nothing was working. I tried so many different cables and they all did the same thing. Controller would just lite up yellow/orange for a moment and back off. I found a Bose speaker cable and plugged that in, and my pc instantly recognized the controller. After fighting myself trying all these different fixes it ended up just being the cable lol
@@Rvvni All I know is my problem went away when I used a cord that actually transmits data. I tried 6 cords I found around the house before finding #7 that actually worked. Make sure the cable can transmit data and not just charge.
Thank you very much! For over a year now no controller was functioning anymore nor was it recognized by any game (that was happening on purpose after an update, to be forced to buy 100 $ controllers from one certain brand and prevent all cheap and stylish looking 10$ USB- or 2.4G-wireless-controllers from functioning). Steam was solving the problem very good so far with Steam-input activation, but there are certain emulators and programs that cannot be used with Steam. Now everything is perfectly fine with my good old PS4 controller that is now no longer blocked :)
I have this new problem. After updating the ds4 software, the gamepad stopped working in game pass games. Steam works fine. Connecting via usb works, but the buttons are messed up. Also it shows as connected in the ds4 app but in the xinput checker it says not connected. Weird stuff.
I actually have a different problem where my controller is not showing on my pc i tried everything but it didnt work i went to device and printers but wireless controller is just isnt there anyone help?
I'm having a problem, everything works fine until i reset or shutdown the controller, Once it connects works fine but if i turn it off or disconnect the controller from the bluetooth it won't connect by it self when i turn it on. and i have to remove the device and start the process again. over and over every time i want to use the controller
