CarloHD thanks, I downloaded “quick device controls” since Tasker is a paid app (just want to get device controls back quick), then I added the app in device controls and was able to readd Device Controls back to lock screen shortcuts. After it was successfully back on lock screen shortcut I went back into device controls, made sure to click on the middle pulldown menu (should show Google home app by default and selected ‘remove app’ from three-dot menu, then uninstalled “quick device controls” as I no longer needed the app.
All good now, but weird we have to do it this way, normal user is not going to figure this out on their own and just give up.
