Ps3 controller Not detected

[GodIstheMessiah]

Hi, I am pretty new with controller on steam.
For two days, the ps3 controllers, I used two controllers, worked fine. I installed the Playstation Now and then updated in the 'Devices and Printers' to make it work. However since last night. one of them stopped working. It is recognised in 'bluetooth and other devices' setting, but Steam can't detect that contoller. Steam still recognises my main controller. Both are Ps3 controller. I realised the one that is not recognised is missing in it's properties hardware "HID"... Do you know any solution. I tried to update the driver again and it says time out and fails. Uninstall seems to not work? Takes forever... So I stopped.. If I keep the controller on USB port and restart computer, the computer won't process it until I unplug it...
Does anyone has a solution?
Thanks in advance.

I found the solution and it works!
Simply RESET the controller. Press in the little round hole near the L2 Button on the PS3 controller.
HID will be reinstalled automatically in a second.
Now my computer and Steam recognise my controller! I can play back with two controllers! Yay~

Thanks for the reply!
Great news. I finally found the solution! I commented right above this one and after your answer.
Sadly I cannot put my own answer as the solution. Do you have the option to do it? :)

How do I close the discussion? ._. This was actually the first time using it.
