Delete your Dualsense from Windows devices, reboot and then pair it again manually (don't use the auto pairing) then it should work

manual pairing?

reef smelt Jan 1, 2026, 10:22 PM

#

Yes, in Windows settings bluetooth page, add device manually from there

So did you reboot after deleting your controller from windows just moments ago ?

karmic breach Jan 1, 2026, 10:33 PM

#

yep i restarted my pc then i paired the controller and its still giving me that issue

reef smelt Jan 1, 2026, 10:34 PM

#

Well your issue is so far unrelated to DSX but I have no idea why it doesn't behave properly on your windows install :/
