DS4Windows является популярным программным обеспечением, позволяющим использовать контроллеры Dualshock 4 и DualSense на ПК с ОС Windows. Однако, иногда пользователи сталкиваются с проблемой, когда DS4Windows не обнаруживает геймпады Dualshock или DualSense. В этой статье мы рассмотрим несколько возможных решений этой проблемы.

Первым шагом, который следует предпринять, это убедиться, что ваш контроллер Dualshock или DualSense правильно подключен к компьютеру. Если вы используете беспроводное соединение по Bluetooth, убедитесь, что ваш компьютер имеет встроенный модуль Bluetooth или вы используете внешний адаптер Bluetooth. Убедитесь, что Bluetooth включен на вашем компьютере и контроллер находится в режиме поиска новых устройств. Если вы подключаете контроллер через USB, убедитесь, что кабель и порт USB работают исправно.

Если ваш контроллер Dualshock или DualSense все еще не распознается DS4Windows, следующим шагом может быть проверка драйверов. В некоторых случаях, Windows может не распознать контроллер как геймпад и не установить соответствующие драйверы автоматически. Чтобы решить эту проблему, вы можете установить драйверы вручную.

После этого DS4Windows должен успешно распознать ваш контроллер Dualshock или DualSense. Если проблема все еще не решена, попробуйте:

• Обновите DS4Windows до последней версии. Посетите официальный веб-сайт DS4Windows и загрузите последнюю версию программы.
• Перезагрузите компьютер и попробуйте подключить контроллер снова.
• Убедитесь, что вы используете оригинальный контроллер Dualshock или DualSense. Некоторые сторонние контроллеры могут не работать с DS4Windows.
• Проверьте форумы сообщества DS4Windows или похожие источники для поиска дополнительной информации или решений, связанных с вашей конкретной проблемой.

В заключение, если DS4Windows не видит ваш контроллер Dualshock или DualSense, первым делом проверьте подключение и драйверы. Если эти шаги не решают проблему, обновите программу DS4Windows и обратитесь к сообществу DS4Windows для получения дополнительной помощи.

Know your way around Windows!

If you don’t know how to reach Windows’ Game controllers’ list (joy.cpl), Device Manager, Devices & Printers, «Bluetooth & Other Devices» settings etc. then have a look at this page

General information

This page is focused on troubleshooting issues that can make DS4Windows not detect your REAL controller. If you are having trouble with games recognizing your gamepad then it’s actually related to detection problems with the virtual controllers DS4Windows creates.

Situations that can make the controller undetectable by DS4Windows or Windows

You are using obsolete or old versions of DS4Windows

If you just search «DS4Windows» on google, chances are that the first result is the obsolete version from jays2kings, which has not been updated since 2016 and should not be used anymore.

The currently maintained version you should be using is Ryochan7’s DS4Windows. If in trouble, check out the installation guide.

Info

Obsolete

• Jays2Kings’ DS4Windows v1.4.52
• This version has not been updated since 2016 and should definitely not be used anymore
• Note the black DS4 icon, that there is not Output Slots tab and the max number of controllers being 4

The version you should actually be using

• Ryochan7′ DS4Windows v3.X.X
• It’s the currently maintained version
• Note the blue and pink DS4 icon, the presence of the Output Slots tab and the maximum number of controllers being 8

DS4Windows is stopped

Well, it needs to actually be running for things to work, don’t you agree? If it is stopped then you can press the Start button on the bottom-right to make things roll again.

Controller is not properly connected / does not appear on Windows’ Devices and Printers

You have connected your controller to the PC but it does not appear on Windows’ Devices and Printers? What? How? No, that should not be possible under normal circunstances. Your controller MUST appear there in some shape or form, even if it does not looks like a controller.

When connected via…

USB

When connected via USB a new entry should appear, so keep an eye for it. Test on other USB ports to be sure. If literally nothing happens then maybe:

• You have a faulty cable
• Your cable can only be used for charging and does not support data transfer
• Your controller’s or PC port is broken

Bluetooth

When a controller has been paired to Windows via Bluetooth then its entry will exist there regardless if the controller is currently connected or not. Also…

• There is a correct and a incorrect method of pairing a controller to Windows. Both will result in the controller appearing to be connected, but on the wrong way the controller won’t remain connected for more than a few seconds and a Add a device notification will keep on appearing
• Check the dedicated Bluetooth connection issues page for more info

Controller was connected to the PC via Bluetooth but was paired using the wrong method or needs to be re-paired

There is a correct and a incorrect method of pairing a controller to the PC via Bluetooth. Both will result in the controller appearing to be connected, but on the incorrect method the controller won’t remain connected for more than a few seconds and Windows will sometimes show a Add a device notification.

Sometimes this happen when a user had previously connected the controller to the PC, removed the device and is trying to simply turn on the controller in the hopes that it will reconnect. If in doubt, fully remove the controller from Windows’ Device list and re-pair it via the proper way.

Pairing a controller to Windows

Correct method

User manually makes Windows look out for a device that is in pairing mode

Incorrect method

User simply turns on the controller and tries to accept the Add a device notification

Controller has been accidentally disabled

Happens mostly to users of the Hide DS4 controllers option

Although this problem mainly affected older versions of DS4Windows (text written after version 1.5.15) for various reasons, other mapping programs can cause the same problem to occur

There is a chance that DS4W has permanently disabled your controller in a previous attempt of gaining Exclusive Access when using the Hide DS4 controllers option.

Though this can happen via any connection method, on Bluetooth removing and re-pairing the controller will fix the issue.

On USB, the easiest way to verify this is by checking if the controller works properly in other USB ports, though another indication for DS4 or DualSense users is that the lightbar will keep flashing yellow, indicating that the controller is only at a charging state (likewise, it will flash yellow only once then turn off if fully charged).

To check if your controller is disabled:

• Open Windows’ Devices and Printers by pressing Win+R in your keyboard, typing control printers then selecting Ok
• Locate your controller on the list
• Right-click on it, select Properties then select the Hardware tab
• Select the HID-compliant game controller and check its status at the bottom of the Window
• If disabled, re-enable it by clicking at Properties then Enable device

If it was disabled then re-enabling should fix the issue.

Controller is enabled but hidden

If you found out that:

1. Your controller is properly connected
2. Your controller is NOT disabled in the previous sections
3. Still does not appear on Windows’ Game Controllers list
4. And is not detected by DS4Windows

Then it may be hidden. The following tools could be the culprit:

HidGuardian

HidGuardian is a driver that can prevent Windows from recognizing a connected controller as an actual game controller. It was used by DS4Windows to prevent the double-input issue, but support for it was removed in v3.0.8 for 2 reasons:

• Users didn’t know how to properly configure HidGuardian and ended up having issues that were complicated to troubleshoot and fix
• The release of HidGuardian’s successor, HidHide, which works the same but is more user-friendly

As such, the latest versions of DS4Windows won’t request HidGuardian for hidden controller’s access and if a controller is hidden by it then it won’t be detected anymore.

Users who still have HidGuardian installed must:

1. Uninstall it for their controller to be detected again
   • To verify if HidGuardian is installed and uninstall it if present, check the legacy drivers section of DS4Windows uninstallation guide
2. Install HidHide as a replacement for the «controller hiding» function that is necessary to prevent the double input issue
   • For more information about HidHide and the double input issue, check the Preventing the double controller / double input issue in games guide

HidHide

HidHide is an optional (but highly recommended) third-party driver that can hide controllers from the system and only allow chosen processes to detect them. Its use along DS4Windows is recommended in order to prevent the infamous double input issue.

You can check if you have HidHide installed by opening Windows’ Apps and Features and searching for it, though if it do is installed then it’s probably just not properly configured to grant DS4Windows access to hidden controllers. Check HidHide’s guide for more info on that.

• If you are definitely sure DS4W has been properly whitelisted by HidHide and it still can’t detect the hidden devices try temporarily disabling it by opening the HidHide Configuration Client and unticking the Enable device hiding checkbox in the Devices tab
• If it still doesn’t work then try uninstalling HidHide via Windows’ Settings -> Apps and Features and rebooting
• If even with HidHide uninstalled your controller does not appear on Windows’ Game Controllers list then the problem lies elsewhere

Controller is a copy-cat/replica

For these type of controllers to be detected by DS4Windows, they need to:

• or present themselves as a complete copy of the original in a way that DS4Windows actually thinks they are the original and also behaves exactly like a original one
• or have specific support for them on DS4Windows’ code
• or try to force their detection by using the debug version of DS4Windows

For more info on this, check the Adding support to third-party controllers page.

You have disabled support for your type of controller in DS4Windows settings

• On DS4Windows’ Settings tab there is a option called Device options that allows the user to disable controller support per type. Check there if everything is enabled
• If changes are made then it is necessary to close the Device options Window and Stop -> Start DS4Windows again for them to be effective
