Solution 2

The WS_MAXIMIZEBOX is part of the system menu (WS_SYSMENU style) so it cannot be removed completely without removing WS_SYSMENU. However that also removes the minimise and close boxes, and the Window icon. Take a look at Window Styles - Windows applications | Microsoft Docs[^] to see which items go together.
