Controller acting up

I play on pc with a PS4 controller running through ds4. I have never had an issue before this, including in Elden ring. However, now when I try to play, both of my joysticks stop working, except for when I press anything on the d-pad. fucking weird. Already checked ds4, every input is correct and everything is working. When I press any d-pad key both joysticks work completely fine as long as I hold said d-pad key. I would just tape the d-pad down, but you need it for ER so does anyone have any ideas?

edit- They start working when I hold any button down other than the R2/L2, not just the D-Pad pls help
