What bluethooth device are using? Is it built into your mobo or are you using a dongle?

Trust bluetooth unit it shows up on windows as CSR8510 A10

Sounds like a mobo bluetooth. You could try downloading newer drivers for it and see if that helps.

I myself have had issues using internal bluetooth for gaming controllers. I used an external one that is verified to be 2.0+ compatible and it works just fine. If it is not 2.0 or higher, it will not work with PS controllers.

I have a video on using it with SCP. But I have since then stopped using SCP and just connect the PS controller directly to dongle from Windows bluetooth screen. Works fine.

If you are curious of the video, you can watch it here.

the external im using is bluetooth 4.0 and my older ps4 controller didnt have this problem

i found a solution by tinkering with some settings and something. there is no solution, not that i can use time on it to find out it would be.... counterproductive

Thats weird. I wonder if v2 of the controller has different requirements for bluetooth connectivity then v1 did.
