Controller won’t work with only ONE of my PCs

Title. my PS4 controller just doesn’t work via Bluetooth? **It used to, now it doesn’t.**

The controller works fine, both wired and wireless on my Linux laptop. On the same laptop with Windows, it works. Windows on my desktop doesn’t even work with it via USB.

Connecting a controller to my laptop, using Moonlight, and then connect Moonlight to my host PC, also causes the controller NOT to work, even if it is virtual.

Says its connected, but it literally just doesn’t work in ANY app. Even in joy.cpl it says there’s no controllers.

Racing wheel and VJoy device works fine.
“HID-compliant game controller” shows up in Device Manager, though, when plugging it in.
Controller is charging (orange light) but doesn’t actually work when wired.
Steam Link with controller from my laptop to my PC works.

I’ve tried with multiple USB cables, no luck.
I’ve also tried uninstall ViGEm Bus Driver, DS4 Windows, and HidHide, no luck. Tried installing them again and also no luck.

I am 100% sure the problem is with Windows because other devices are fine.

Any ideas?
