PS5 Dualsense Controller not being detected by Windows and also Steam

[Lozza]

I've bought it today for Ghosts of Tsushima and it's not working, it plugs in via the USB C - USB A, and charges, I press the PS button in Big Picture Mode and it doesn't connect or get detected by Steam or Windows. I've tried different USB ports on my PC, front and back, and I'm at a lost end completely.

Please help :P

Check if the USB cable is a data cable and not just a power cable.

I managed to fix it by trying different cables, just have to keep trying to different ones until they work!
