Problem with my computer's game controller.

[Douglasgean]

USB Selective Suspend is actually one of the leading causes for a USB device not communicating with the computer. I actually encountered a nearly identical issue with my own gaming controller(not a PS5 controller) where it just stopped responding and the computer stopped recognizing it. And the only way I could get it working again was to turn off USB Selective Suspend.

I can say that, you can safely turn off USB Selective Suspend. It won't cause your computer any harm. And if that doesn't work to get your controller working again, you can always turn it back on if that is your desire. All USB Selective Suspend does is allow your computer to manage power and data flow to each port and essentially "sleep" a port it deems as not active enough to require full power. Oddly enough though, sometimes windows forgets to wake the port back up when it's needed(You will find that windows forgets to do a lot of things). Leaving that off will not cause any damage to your computer at all. And as I said, if it doesn't work to solve your problem, you can just turn it back on if you want.

Thanks for replying, and for the valuable informations.
