Hi everyone, Ajay here. I wanted to let you all know that we have released the Windows 10 Group Policy (.ADMX) templates on our download center as an MSI installer package. These .ADMX templates are released as a separate download package so you can manage group policy for Windows 10 clients more easily.
This new package includes additional (.ADMX) templates which are not included in the RTM version of Windows 10.
- DeliveryOptimization.admx
- fileservervssagent.admx
- gamedvr.admx
- grouppolicypreferences.admx
- grouppolicy-server.admx
- mmcsnapins2.admx
- terminalserver-server.admx
- textinput.admx
- userdatabackup.admx
- windowsserver.admx
To download the Windows 10 Group Policy (.ADMX) templates, please visit http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48257
To review which settings are new in Windows 10, review the Windows 10 ADMX spreadsheet here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=25250

Unfortunately it seems that WinStoreUI.admx/adml are missing from the latest template download. I had to grab the older Win8.1u1 download to get that.

Would be nifty if in all the flurry of announcing the templates are out that you also include a link, or perhaps a little step-wise guide for how to get these into your domain.
I assume these can be added to the domain’s central store and we can still manage the Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 policies from these upgrades templates? Can you please clarify? Many thanks.
Getting the error "Name space ‘Microsoft.Policies.Sensors.WindowsLocationProvider’" is already defined as the target namespace for another file in the store". See file microsoft-windows-geolocation-wlpadm.admx line 5, column 110. When i remove the file
i can see and edit my GPO’s again.

Under known issues
Anyone know a way to fix/change the sorting of the new Apps & Features, the default sorting by Size is silly. I’d much prefer to sort by Name
Is there a reason the DisableOSUpgrade is missing from the WindowsUpdate.admx template and its related language file? Has its function been deprecated and added elsewhere?
Is there updated templates for the latest build 1511? There appears to be an Edge homepage option?
This may sound ignorant but how can we verify that the installation worked? I am not seeing anything updated in the Central Store. I even checked the spreadsheet and tried to see if any of the GPOs appeared and I am not seeing Windows ComponentsMicrosoft
Edge options. I ran the msi install, prompt to repair or uninstall.
After the upgrade and replacement files in “PolicyDefinitions”.

who knows how to fix?
Braun Andrey : removing winstoreui.admx/adml files solved problem on first sight 😉
