Recycle Bin GPO settings not working/implemented in Windows Server 2022.
Hi, folks.
I leverage the following three settings under User/Administrative Templates/Windows Components/File Explorer to effectively disable the Recycle Bin and force prompting for deletions on all Windows Server hosts, yet on Windows Server 2022, they are having no effect.
The description for each setting contains no hints as to whether they've been deliberately omitted from Windows Server 2022 (most likely) or this is just some kind of bug/accidental omission.
I ran a cross-check using the local group policy editor on a Server 2022 host as I haven't specifically updated the domain templates to Server 2022, but it's the same outcome.
Does anyone have any insight as to whether these settings have been dropped as of Server 2022/Windows 11?
Cheers,
Lain

- Hi,
I have the same problem, however it does work on our Windows 2022 Servers (21H2 build 20348.2700)
But the same policy does not work on Windows 10 (22H2 build 19045.4894)
Have you figured it out yet, or does anyone else have an idea?This isn't something I can figure out, really, as it's a black-and-white case of it either works out of the box or does not.
For now, the group policy settings are not being honoured meaning the scenario remains broken.
It's interesting that you have the opposite symptom though, as I have no issue on Windows 10 (or Server 2019), with the policy settings providing the expected outcomes.
Are you running Windows Server 2022 on-premise or did you provision them in the Azure cloud via the Marketplace? (As the latter is what we use and they are customised builds.)
Cheers,
Lain
