How to Turn Off PS5 Controller Connected to Windows 11 PC or STEAM (Best Method)
The simplest and most reliable method to turn off a PS5 controller when it's connected to a Windows 11 PC or Steam is to use the controller itself.
The Universal Button Hold
This is the best and most direct method, as it works regardless of the software you're using (Windows, Steam, etc.).
Press and hold the PlayStation (PS) button in the center of the controller.
Continue holding it for approximately 10 to 15 seconds.
The light bar will flash briefly and then turn off, indicating that the controller has powered down and disconnected from your PC.
This method is the quickest way to turn off the controller and is generally preferred over navigating through Windows or Steam menus.
Disconnecting via Windows 11 Bluetooth Settings
If the button-hold method doesn't work or you want to be certain the connection is broken, you can disconnect the controller from your PC's Bluetooth settings.
On your Windows 11 PC, go to Settings Bluetooth & devices.
Find "DualSense Wireless Controller" in the list of paired devices.
Click the three dots next to the controller's name.
Select "Disconnect."
This will end the Bluetooth connection, and the controller will automatically turn off.
