The remove button for deleting printers seems to be missing from my end user's devices, in Windows 11. The only group policy I could find that would do such a thing is disabled. (prevent users from removing printers) Is there somewhere else I am missing?

    What happens when you set the same GPO to Not configured instead of 'Disabled'?
