My PC only connects my PS4 controller through wired connection
So I can connect my controller to my pc with bluetooth but after that neither DS4 or Steam detects it. I can only use it if its through usb. If anyone else knows how to fix this I would apreciate it.

Also try resyncing as well.

This might fix your issue.

Get CPU-Z and it will tell you what your motherboard you're using.
