Allowed values

Group Policy Description
Disabled or not configured
(default)
Provide a semi-colon delimited list of extension PFNs. For example, adding Microsoft.OneNoteWebClipper8wekyb3d8bbwe or Microsoft.OfficeOnline8wekyb3d8bbwe prevents a user from turning off the OneNote Web Clipper and Office Online extension. After defining the list of extensions, you deploy them through any available enterprise deployment channel, such as Microsoft Intune. Removing extensions from the list does not uninstall the extension from the users computer automatically. To uninstall the extension, use any available enterprise deployment channel. If you enable the Allow Developer Tools policy, then this policy does not prevent users from debugging and altering the logic on an extension.
Enabled Allowed. Users can uninstall extensions. If you previously enabled this policy and you decide to disable it, the list of extension PFNs defined in this policy get ignored.
