I'm using Windows 11 and whenever I try to open 'Programs and Features' in the Control Panel, I get this message: 'Your system administrator has disabled programs and features.' I'm the only user of this PC, so it's really confusing. Some people mentioned that it might be due to malware, but I've checked multiple times with my malware detector and found nothing. I need to uninstall a tablet driver for a drawing assignment that's due tomorrow. Any advice?

You should take a look at your Group Policies. Open the Run dialog (Windows Key + R), type in 'gpedit.msc', and navigate to User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Control Panel. You want to check that 'Hide Programs & Features' is either not configured or disabled. If it’s still not working after this, let me know!
First, check if your Microsoft account is linked to any school or business accounts. Sometimes these accounts can impose restrictions on personal computers.
Is this a second-hand computer? Sometimes devices might have restrictions set by previous users or MDM control. Since you mentioned it’s a self-built PC, this shouldn’t be the case, but it’s worth confirming. Just double-check that everything is properly configured.
