Shortcut to connect Bluetooth device [Windows 10]

Now it's a pre-defined feature [UPDATED] Windows made some updates and after that you can easily open the connect tab using Windows...

Hi. I have Windows 11, and this command leads to popping up a window that reads "Searching for displays" and a link "search other devices" below. Is there another command to go straight to connecting the bluetooth device I need?

Sorry, but I don't use windows 11.
May be the have removed the connect audio device feature in windows 11.

BTW now this thing can be opened just by pressing windows+k

Hey just wanted to know how to get the file path for the settings location so I can do this in windows 11?

Thanks

Edit:
Found it. If you use the link ms-settings:bluetooth instead that will take you directly to the bluetooth centre in Windows 11.

This is the complete list of windows settings links for those interested.

Due to the fact that anyone can post about anything on these forums, anything you do or learn can be a great source for a post.
If you have any project you're working on, post stuff about it. Make a series of post about a project, why not?
