Unplug Your Controller Then Replug It

Try to reconnect your controller to the PC. While this sounds like a simple solution – and it is – it fixes many problems. However, it would help if you didn’t place all your bets on this method. Keep in mind that this solution only works for wired controllers. Let us know if it worked for you or not.

Restart Your PC

If all else fails, you need to restart your PC. Restarting it will potentially fix any controller issues that you are facing. However, this solution might not work at all, but it is worth trying. Along with restarting your PC, we suggest that you reconnect the controller as well, to be sure.

DualShock / DualSense Controllers

For DUALSHOCK controllers:
If you are facing problems connecting the Dualshock controller, please use this workaround:

  1. Make sure your controller has enough battery (above 10%), and then restart your PC.
  2. Open Control Panel
  3. Click on Devices and Printers inside the Control Panel
  4. Search for the Bluetooth PS4 controller in the list
  5. Right-click on it
  6. Select Remove device
  7. Select Yes and you should be good to go

For DUALSENSE controllers:
There is no Bluetooth driver for DUALSENSE for PC yet. When the DUALSENSE controller is connected over Bluetooth, it is seen as a generic controller, thus showing Xbox glyphs in-game. To get the correct DUALSENSE button prompts, connect your controller directly to your PC using a wire.
