Root Cause

Resolution
Apply HFix-42264.
After applying the hotfix, in order to make the gear icon invisible, the following local change is made.
If requirement is to hide the gear icons in the report browser, one must copy the When rules into <your> application ruleset and configure:
pyReportBrowser_ShowActions when False will hide the shortcut/category actions and hide the category gear icon
pyReportBrowser_ShowSubscriptionActionsAndInfo when False will hide the report subscription information
If both are False, the gear icons on the shortcuts grid will also be hidden. By default they are both set to true.
