Problems with Bluetooth connectivity.
Problems with Bluetooth connectivity.
(Windows 10) I recently faced ps4 controller problems and had to disable Bluetooth to attempt a fix. When I tried to reconnect, it wouldn’t work. I’ve checked all the troubleshooting steps I could find, but it didn’t resolve the issue. I managed to get it back online a few times via Bluetooth, but after roughly 15 seconds it disappears from Bluetooth, Device Manager, and Control Panel. Once I switch to USB, it works, though it forgets the remote afterward. I’ve tested various power sources on my PC and used different remotes; it only connects to other devices like my console and Echo Show without issues.
I've tested Bluetooth with Windows 7, 10 and MacOS. The only desktop platform that worked well was MacOS. Microsoft's Bluetooth setup has been quite disappointing at best; they even mentioned plans to enhance the experience in Windows 11, though it's unclear if this is happening yet. You didn't mention what you tried, but here are a few options: 1) Restart your computer if you haven't already—sometimes that resolves issues. 2) Reinstall the drivers for your Bluetooth adapter. Visit the chipset manufacturer's site to check for direct driver downloads. For instance, if your adapter is built into your motherboard's WiFi and uses an Intel chip, I'll go there to look for updates. You might also want to disable Windows Update during driver installation, as older files can cause problems. I remember reading that the PS4 controller needs special software to function properly in Windows. Assuming you have that installed, let me know!
