get rid of unused icons/functions

[matsmcp]

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

@matsmcp Hello!  There are a few MS Edge Policies that might be able to help.  

Browser Sign In/Profiles

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

@matsmcp Thanks for following up!

In regards to removing the Profile Icon, I would recommend submitting feedback ("..." menu > Help and feedback > Send feedback), which will get directly to the team.
