gpedit: 'productversion id' not found

Hello, bleh on the short title,

Code:

policy element 'productversion id', referenced in presentation 'TargetReleaseVersion' could not be found.

File C\windows\policydefinitions\windows update.amdx

So then the machine specs:

Code:

Device name    *******

Edition    Windows 10 Home
Version    22H2
Installed on    ‎3/‎14/‎2021
OS build    19045.4170
Experience    Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.19054.1000.0

This was a W8 machine that was run through the 10 upgrade.

I have no idea how long it's had to issue, I only found it when that so called copilot spyware was installed on the machine and needed to disable it, seeing as it's uninstallable.

By the same token, there is no copilot entry in the machine's group policies.

I've tried searching for some form of an updated group policies to put into the machine, but have not had much luck in finding a solution other than:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/an...y-editor-on-lo

Not to mention that there's "can't write this file" errors when trying to move some of them into the folder.

Any pointers would be appreciated.

Not too sure but that file doesn't exist on my Home version and could be GPEDIT isn't available on the Home version, have to be Pro.

The Group Policy Editor is not included in your Home edition of Windows, it's a Pro-only feature.

The Administrative Templates (.admx) for Windows 10 2022 Update (22H2) can be downloaded here:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/down...aspx?id=104677

It comes in the form of a .msi file that The Windows Installer would normally install, but it may not let you install it on the Home edition. If so, you can open the .msi file as an archive using 7-Zip File Manager and extract the templates yourself.
