C:\Windows\system32\control.exe /name Microsoft.DevicesAndPrinters

I should not offer a way to go to the old page for the reasons you pointed out but also because it's very easy to create the item by himself:

• Item type: Program
• Path: explorer.exe
• Program argument: shell:::{A8A91A66-3A7D-4424-8D24-04E180695C7A}​

]]> Wed, 18 Oct 2023 08:17:45 GMT https://www.ugmfree.it/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=878 There presently remains a way to get back to the correct location.

The correct link is:

explorer shell:::{A8A91A66-3A7D-4424-8D24-04E180695C7A}​

This link appears to backdate to Win7.

As .NET 8's earliest target is Win10, I would think it's safe to proceed with updating that link.

EDIT:
On second thought, several functions in the legacy "Devices and Printers" page appear to be broken. Perhaps not worth changing.
The schizophrenic nature of the settings/control panel is as absurd now as it was when Win 8 released in 2012.
