PS5 controller Dualsense is not working via bluetooth after recent update

[Computing]

1. Steam overrides input so controller is not working in any Windows 10 app or game, even joy.cpl shows no repsonse when steam is lauched. BUT! It works in steam if you enable steam support.
2. Tried to hide it and unhide. Doesnt work anyways.
3. Tried to update xbox drivers but it fails with an error(Someone suggested to try this)
4. Works fine when i use it via USB but only when its hidden.
5. Yesterday everything was fine
6. Not using any other software like DS4

Basically hide feature is not working properly.

Yeah, currently hide isn't working properly. 'Hide Device' with the BT DualSense works as normal (controller isn't displayed in Steam, can't navigate the client or be used with controller configs etc) but is broken in that the controller is still being switched to enhanced mode.

Another workaround for the main issue of Steam always switching it away from simple/DirectInput mode is by setting a system environment variable:

An alternative is to use HIDHide to hide the controller from Steam.

I Was having the same issue with a PS4 Controller
Try going into Big Picture (with Controller Connected Bluetooth)
Make sure Rumble is off and Playstation Support is off
Open calibration & advanced settings, click on Gyro Calibration and turn off "auto calibrate gyro drift when stationary"
You will probably have to power cycle your BT controller (turn off your PC's BT and turn it back on) but after you do it should connect properly now

There are still some issues though:
*You must connect to Bluetooth before you launch the game, if you connect after you launch the game it tries to use Steam input and the light bar changes, buttons become unresponsive
*if your controller turns off for any reason (I.E. Idle turns off or pressing PS+Triangle) when you re-connect the light bar changes, buttons become unresponsive
*if you connect ur controller to ur PC via USB while in game & connected to Bluetooth, light bar changes, buttons become unresponsive
