Windows 11: How do I find a device (as I did in all previous version)?

Anonymous

Hello,

I'm trying to use Windows 11 (new computer/fresh install). In Window 10 and earlier, I could see the devices known by Windows by going to the Devices and Printer dialog (from the Control Panel). This no longer works for many of my devices.

When I try to see a list (e.g. Logitech F710, F510, or F310), they don't show up in the Bluetooth & devices > Devices list. These controller are active and working, but not on this dialog page.

Where in Windows 11 can I find ALL devices known to Windows (e.g. similar to Devices & Printers (or Printers & Devices)?

Thank you.

In this screen, you need to click on "Devices" and a new window will be opened, then you will be able to find the "More devices and printer settings" at the end of the page.

Hi, Bertram. I'm Robinson, and I’m happy to help you today.

You can see the same information as you see on Windows 10 by clicking on "More devices and printer settings".

1-Click on Start then click on Settings
2-Click on Bluetooth & devices then click on Devices
3-Scroll down to the end of the page and click on "More devices and printer settings
4-Then the same Devices and Printer window as from Windows 10 will be opened

I hope this information helps. If you have any questions, please let me know and I'll be glad to assist you further.

Hello, and thank you for your help,

Unfortunately, I can't complete step 3. On my Windows 11 Pro x64 system, I don't see "More device and printer" in the settings dialog. I'm pasting a screenshot of what I see.

I tried inputting your steps 3 and 4 in the "Find a setting," and nothing came up. I did see printers and scanners, but it wasn't what I see on Windows 10 Pro x64.

Device Manager

Hello, and thank you for your reply,

The Device Manager isn't the same as the "Device and Printers" on Windows 10. Device Manager has two issues in this case:

Device Manager isn't graphical on Windows 10 or 11. Devices and Printers are graphical (e.g., showing an icon for each device representing what the device looks like in the real world).
After being successfully connected to the Windows 11 system, the Logitech F710 does not appear in the Device Manager lists under "Sound, video, and game controllers" or "Universal Serial Bus Controllers."

While I appreciate your reply, it isn't a solution to my problem.

Again, thank you for your reply.

P.S. What I am trying to see is the following: (Please note the graphical icons representing each device.)
