Does anyone know an easier/faster way to view what COM port is in use in Windows 10?

I've been doing nothing but pushing out Palo Alto's and Aruba switches for a few months now. The most frustrating thing for me is when I need to go into computer management or the device manager to see which COM port number Windows has decided to use. What I'd love is some kind of tray widget or something that just says COM6 or something once I've connected a console cable. Does anything like that exist? So far the fastest method I've come up with is to hit WIN+R and type in devmgmt.msc and hit enter... then I usually need to rescale the window or scroll down.
