PS5 Controller help pairing?

[APC Sparrow]

So I already paired my ps5 controller to my pc and it works fine after pairing it for the first time, but how do I connect it again after I turn the controller off? When I turn it back on it just flashes blue and doesn't connect to my computer anymore. I have to delete the device from my computer and re-pair it every single time. Anyone know what to do?

Press the PS button, it will flash twice then connect.

I've had this issue with my Xbox One X controller. I'm actually leaning towards it being a driver issue. I've been able to fix it by plugging it in with a cable initially and then just unplugging the cable. Not sure if this is possible with the ps5 controller or not.

Also, I know with the xb1x controller, it can only be paired with one device at a time, so if you're going back and forth between the ps5 and the pc with it that could also be an issue.

Is your bluetooth connected (icon showing) and the controller paired before pressing the PS button as it will flash blue continuously if bluetooth is not connected.

Also are you using the PS5 controller on a PS5 then using it on your PC as the controller will only pair to one device at a time and why you have to redo the process on PC.
