Question PS4 controller flashing orange then turn off after a couple of minutes

[James1994s]

My problem is that I have a PS4 controller that I want to play with on my PC using DS4windows. I have done this before and everything went smoothly but recently whenever I plug my controller in via USB and open DS4windows, the controller shows up in the controller section and I can use the touchpad however the controller keeps flashing orange. If I want to change the color it won't do anything, it just keeps blinking orange.
This is so frustrating to me because I am trying to get better at Fifa but I cannot take full advantage because when the controller stops blinking orange, the D pad for some reason doesn't work and I need the D pad to change tactics in game which puts me in a disadvantage.
I don't know what happened but I have tried everything from reinstalling DS4windows, downloading different versions, uninstalling the driver from device manager and reinstalling it again, deleting the controller from control panel/Hardware and sound/ devices and printers as well changing the micro-USB cable but nothing worked. I have also tried the controller with my friend's PS4 and it worked flawlessly both with cable and wireless. I have tried the controller with my laptop using DS4windows and it keeps blinking orange as well.
If anyone has any idea how to fix this please let me know.

Try using the reset on the back of the controller, small hole. And then plug it back in. You can also try holding down share and the ps button for a few seconds on the controller when you power on the pc. See if that helps.

I have already tried both but no difference whatsoever :/

Have you tried taking battery out, inspecting battery and controller, cleaning as needed and reseating battery?
