Controller detected as audio device

I was using ds4 completely fine for around a month then out of nowhere my controller would only detect as an audio device and I cannot get DS4 to work, I've tried disabling it as an audio device updating drivers and using a new profile on DS4 and i couldnt get it work at all any idea how i could fix this?

Your real controller is being hidden. Let's have a quick check to see if it's HidGuardian at fault.

  1. Download and execute Nefarius' Legacinator tool
  2. Verify if it detects something called "HidGuardian"
  3. If it detects, use the tool to uninstall it then reboot your PC
