How to pin Device Manager to the Start Menu
Unlike pinning an app, pinning Device Manager is not straightforward.

You can access Device Manager in various ways -- as part of the Settings window, for example, or by using the search box on the Taskbar. If you want to make it more visible, you might want to pin it to the Start Menu. Unlike pinning an app, pinning Device Manager is not straightforward. Here is a roundabout way in which you can make it happen:
1) Right-click on the desktop to open the context menu.
