Device manager do not display

Problem: Device list do not show up

In Services Plug and play is enabled and set to Automatic.

On the net, problem was described as "Device manager is empty",

as opposed to "Device manager do not show/do not display" which only shows results which are reffered to showing hidden devices.

Problem here was in permissions, this instructions worked:
