Here are the built-in ones and how to create a custom hotkey:\n\n---\n\n## \ud83d\udd0d Built-in Shortcuts\n\n| Shortcut | What It Does |\n|---|---|\n| **Win + X** \u2192 press **M** | Opens the Power User (Quick Access) menu in the lower left, then pressing **M** launches Device Manager. ([gearupwindows.com](https://gearupwindows.com/how-to-open-device-manager-in-windows-11/?utm_source=openai)) |\n| **Win + R**, type **devmgmt.msc**, press **Enter** | Opens the Run dialog, then directly loads Device Manager. ([intowindows.com](https://www.intowindows.com/8-ways-to-open-device-manager-in-windows-11/?utm_source=openai)) |\n| **Win + S**, type **Device Manager**, press **Enter** | Opens Search, finds Device Manager, and launches it. ([oemdrivers.com](https://oemdrivers.com/index.php/tech-how-to-open-device-manager-windows-11?utm_source=openai)) |\n\n---\n\n## \u2699\ufe0f Custom Hotkey (Creating Your Own Shortcut)\n\nIf you want something more direct, you can make a custom keyboard shortcut:\n\n1. Right-click on your Desktop \u2192 **New** \u2192 **Shortcut**\n2. In the location field, enter `devmgmt.msc` \u2192 Click **Next**\n3. Give it a name like \u201cDevice Manager\u201d \u2192 Click **Finish**\n4. Right-click the new shortcut \u2192 **Properties**\n5. In the **Shortcut key** field, press the key combo you want (e.g. `Ctrl + Alt + D`)\n6. Click **OK**\n\nNow the hotkey will open Device Manager globally (as long as the shortcut remains where Windows expects it, e.g. on Desktop or in a Start Menu folder). ([cpux.net](https://cpux.net/help/devmgmt-msc/open?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\nIf you need a quicker combo or one that works in certain contexts (e.g. always elevated/admin), I can help you set that up too. Do you want one like that?"
