get rid of unused icons/functions
Due to legal or other regulatory requirements there are somethings in Edge we need to disable not to missguide our users.
The first one is the user profile function. They shall not create any account in any way so how can that Icon and function be completely removed/disabled?
The next one is that if someone is visiting Youtube there is a small icon
How can that be removed? Our user do not have store access and even if they did they are not allowed to install anything on the corp computers - if they do it would result in disciplinary actions

In regards to the install as web app/PWA icon, it looks like this is something the team is discussing/considering. I've reached out to see if there is any additional information right now. Thanks!

Thank you. The GPO:s helped, we would still like to get rid of the
icon too but the GPO:s are a good start
