My ps2 controller isn't getting recognized by Windows 11

Hello, I'm having trouble with this ps2 controller, it used to work fine but suddenly it started getting the message that it wasn't recognized and stopped working. I tried everything that is in this website: https://www.groovypost.com/howto/fix-usb-not-working-windows-11/#:~:text=Restart%20Windows%2011&text=You%20may%20find%20that%20restarting,right-clicking%20the%20Start%20menu. 
and nothing worked.
I'm not sure what else I can do but I'd really like for it to work
Oh and also, I tested the controller on my boyfriend's computer (that uses linux) and it works there, so it's not the controller

can anyone help please?
