PS5 Controller Problem with Smart Access Memory Enabled

My PS5 controller will not work with SmartAccess Memory (SAM) enabled. Has anyone else seen this problem? I've searched the internet and didn't find anything.

I've been using a PS5 controller to play games on both Steam and Ubisoft. Long Story short I had inadvertently turned off SAM before I picked up this controller to play games like Witcher 3 and AC Valhalla. When I turned it on after I realized it had been off, my controller stopped working. It'll connect and my PC will recognize it to include Steam, but it won't do anything. I can turn off SAM and it works fine.

Any ideas?

System Specs:

  • Windows 11

  • AMD 5900X

  • ASUS Dark Hero x570 MB

  • AMD Red Devil 6900XHXT

  • 64GB 3800MHx Memory

I should add that I'm running DS4Windows and I've tried both wired and wireless with the same results.
