GPO Drive Restriction Message

I have configured GPO to restrict access to the C drive. When there's an attempt to access the drive, a message appears stating "This operating has been cancelled due to restrictions on this computer." How do I stop this message from appearing without removing the restrictions?

Hi,
Based on my understanding, we can't remove this message.
It is designed by default.

To reduce the number of errors, we can consider hiding the disk
Open the following sections: User Configuration, Administrative Templates, Windows Components, and File Explorer.
Click Hide these specified drives in My Computer.
Click to select the Hide these specified drives in My Computer check box.
Click the appropriate option: Restrict C drive only

The disk is hidden, but when trying to print it attempts to access the drive by default which causes the message.

Hi,
I'm afraid there is not such a setting for us to prevent the error message display.

Best Regards,
