    In the local group policy editor. Under
    User Configuration->Administrative Templates->Windows Components->Microsoft Management Console->Restricted/Permitted snap-ins->Extension snap-ins.
    If you have the Extentions snap-ins for Device Manager Disabled then the Device Manager will not show up in Computer Management Console as shown in the screen shot:

    If you are using Windows 10 Home Edition then Group Policy Editor is not available. However, you can try this tweak to enable the Group Policy Editor. I have never done this so I don't know if it works:

    Just a note that topgundcp's procedure worked on my Win10 Home version.

    If you wish. You can add "This PC" to the right click context menu

    zip file below.

    Or if you prefer to put in Win+X menu then download:
    Win+X Menu Editor for Windows 8
    Then add a Control Panel Item->This PC to group 2
