For the last days I've been playing my steam games with no problem.

Yesterday I took the controller to connect to the PS4, but it doesn't work.
Then when I plug it back to pc, windows just not simple recognize. Tried in a notebook and doesn't work too.

It's not a driver problem, cause the windows just not find it, like there's nothing connected to it.

My android device works fine with it, using Bluetooth.
Already tried to reset pressing the small buttons close to R2, and connect another PC. But nothing works.

Someone can help me?

Window's won't really recognize a DualShock completely, since it has no official driver for it, it only recognizes Xbox Controller, you can play with DS4 for sure and it will even recognize some buttons but still as I said Microsoft doesn't have any official driver for it, try DS4 instead it works. I've also checked that you connect to your PS4 and it didn't worked as well... maybe your ds4 controller has a faulty connect cable since only bluetooth works


No. Cause windows doesn't even recognize it.

It's not a driver problem.

Is it working with the PS4 currently?
if not, then try getting it to work with the PS4 to get to the 'default' of the controller.
also i know that steam big-picture has 'full support' for PS4 controller, so try going into bigpicture and connect it first when it is started.
