Question PS4 Controller drains battery when PC is turned off but controller is connected via USB

[danny009]

What should I do to prevent battery drain in this condition? DS4Windows says it is dried empty overnight when my PC is off, either that or somewhere near %57 charge left. Controller is connected all the time to my USB to PC, tried holding down the PS icon for 10 secs did not helped, I believe that works only when connected on a ps4. Help please!

Update: DS4Windows also have an option to quick charge, should I enable that? Any dangers related to voltage or lifespan?

Instead of 10 secs, try and hold the PS button for 15 seconds.

Holding the PS button for 15-20 secs did not worked, will check the URLs soon. What if I just unplug the USB cable, having no connections?

When DS4 Windows reports that battery percentage, or some percentage, does the value match up with what the PS4 roughly shows?

If they don't match up, then there's something funky going on with DS4Windows or however it was configured.
