My Ps4 controller not working even AFTER reinstalling the bluetooth driver & DS4windows

Alright, so this issue started in November before November Bluetooth with a ps4 controller was going fine and then after that ds4 stopped detecting the controller steam stopped detecting it just the whole PC stopped detecting it, and well I'm not trying to factory reset my PC just to play a game with a ps4 controller but at the same time I do not wish to play with keyboard I HAVE TRIED: resetting my computer, reinstalling the Bluetooth drivers, troubleshooting Bluetooth, turned off Bluetooth for 1 minute, reinstalled the required drivers, Getting a toothpick and restarting the controller. However, I have tried connecting it to my PS4 and it seemed to work however on PC it does not
I'm not trying to spend money to use my ps controller on PC
What should I do???

Hello Shawntez, welcome to the Microsoft community, I'll be happy to help you today;

I was having the same problem here, what happens is a "bug" between connected bluetooth devices;

Try removing all bluetooth devices connected to the PC;

Press Windows key + i and access Bluetooth and other devices;
Click on View more devices;
Remove all Bluetooth devices, including the PS4 controller;

Now try connecting the controller again;

Click on Add a Bluetooth device;
Click Bluetooth;
Hold the Share + PS button until the back light is flashing;
When the control is displayed, click on it and it should be connected;

Open DS4Windows and verify that the control now works;

Hope this helps, see you soon!
