SQL Server Configuration Manager shortcut is missing in my Windows 10

Under Microsoft SQL Server 2016 desktop apps I should have found the SQL Server Configuration Manager. I see the Reporting Services Configuration Manager but not the SQL Server Configuration Manager.



When you search for it specifically also you do not find it.




Where is it?

The following is the reason for this is given here: TechNet.

Because SQL Server Configuration Manager is a snap-in for the Microsoft Management Console program and not a stand-alone program, SQL Server Configuration Manager does not appear as an application in newer versions of Windows (8,10)

In Windows version 10  if you have to open SQL Server Configuration Manager for SQL Server 2016  the following item should be searched in  the  search charm of Windows 10:

SQLServerManager13.msc

When this is found you just click and display the SQL Server Configuration Manager as shown:





From the Help menu you can find the version.
