PlayStation DualSense controller failing to operate with Windows 10.
I’ve recently been using a DualShock 4 with my PC, and it worked wonderfully… until today. Without warning, it completely stopped functioning even after attempting to use DS4 mode. I suspect the issue is that Windows isn't identifying it as a USB device; it simply doesn’t appear. When I plug it into a USB port, a yellowish light flashes on the controller before extinguishing. Do you have any recommendations for what steps I should take?

Here’s what resolved my issue.
Start menu > Settings > Devices > Bluetooth & other devices
Within “Other devices,” find your connected controller. Click on it and choose “remove device.” Afterward, unplug and then plug the controller back in; this will re-install the appropriate driver.
Hopefully, this assists anyone else encountering similar problems.
