Odd issue with Dual Sense controller while using bluetooth connection

[fringle]

So I've been using a Dual Sense with my pc for a while now and lately I've encounted a strange issue when attempting to use it over bluetooth. Most issues that people seem have deal with bluetooth connectivity which I don't seem to have as it connects fine and stays connected but it doesn't respond to any input. That is unless I open up ds4windows. This seems to detect it and allows me to use it as intended. I don't have an issue with it when it's wired and only exhibits this behaviour over bluetooth. It worked normally the first time I connected it to bluetooth but since then it just won't unless I use ds4windows. It's really only a minor inconvenience but would like to know if anyone else has experienced this and managed to solve it. I've tried removing all traces and resintalling but no luck at all in getting it to work without ds4windows over bluetooth.
