    Device Manager Dumbed Down?


    The Device Manager and Action drop down menus seems to have gone flaky, mine sometimes just shows Help.
    Sometimes the whole list as was.
    The alternative is to right click on one of the device list for "Scan for Hardware changes" that also seems to correct the menus as well.
    That's how it is here.

    Agreed - I discovered you now have to select a device to see the 'scan for changes' option.
