Option to remove device is missing in new control panel

When a removable device is connected, in the new control panel when I click on the three dots menus, all options are missing including the one to safely remove ou remove the device. It happens only when using a limited local account, not with an admin account. The final user of this PC can't have admin rights, so he will use a limited account while the admin account will be reserved to the IT administrator.

The problem is that these user needs rights to use flash drives and removable media. Bluetooth devices seem not work properly under these account too, devices are connected but the option to remove them are also sometimes missing and even if they are connected they don't work right, the final user needs to be able to use bluetooth headphones.

I've tried messing with some GPOs but nothing seems to work, it's like Windows doesn't allow limited local accounts to add or remove devices, but still they connect (in case of bluetooth) and can be used from reading and writing in case of removable media.

Tried Microsoft support but even after 2h of a remote session they couldn't fix this. I really don't know what more I can try to solve this.

Control Panel Options Missing

There is an option missing from the Control Panel after a major upgrade. What happened to the
Control Panel > All Control Panel Items > Display. The upgrade changed my font size, my icon size also changed some text items to from regular to bold and vice versa. In the control panel display
option mentioned previously I was able to make all these changes. The drop down menu under Display listed such items as Icons, title bars, menus, message boxes, palette titles, icons and tooltips. It also allowed font size change and a selection of either
bold or regular text. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thank You
