1.Open run CTRL+R

2.Type below command..

SQLServerManager13.msc

sometimes SQLServer Configuration manager won't appear in search ,either due to recent installation ,so it was not indexed or some other reason..So you can use above command to open it from RUN..

Below are some more commands corresponding to different versions..

SQLServerManager15.msc   SQLServer2019
SQLServerManager14.msc   SQLServer2017
SQLServerManager13.msc   SQLServer2016
SQLServerManager12.msc   SQLServer2014
SQLServerManager11.msc   SQLServer2012
SQLServerManager10.msc   SQLServer2008

I wonder why it was removed from the menu, it was a convenience.
