    KB shortcut to Device Manager not working?


    For decades I've use Win + Break to get straight to the Device Manager. But suddenly that's opening All Settings, which then requires a couple of extra clicks. Are other seeing this change please?

    Thanks BubbaW. I'd have guessed it's since my update last week from 1909 to 20H2, but I'm almost certain I've used Win+Break a few times since then. Puzzling.
