The Microsoft source document that all of this is scraped from specifically says only the GPOs in the PolicyDefinitions are active. You can create as many backup folders as you want but they won’t be used. GPO templates are backwards compatible so with rare exceptions just use the latest windows 11 templates. This site appears to be written by someone who read the docs but didn’t actually try it themselves.

Did you able to figure out. I have same issue. We have policy for Windows 10 and now creating policy for Windows 11. I create below folders but I am not able to utilize PolicyDefinitions21H2 to create Windows 11 policy.

Do I miss something with these separate folders? We didn’t use separate folders yet and I liked this idea.
But when we have copied W11 templates to policies separate folder in Central Store as you recommended (like \\\SYSVOL\domainname.com\policies\PolicyDefinitions21H2), W11 new settings are not available in GPO configuration. So what is goal of copying W11 or app templates to separate folders?
It seems we need anyway to copy them to \\domainname.com\SYSVOL\domainname.com\policies\PolicyDefinitions.

You can go with that approach.

Maintain them in a separate folder.

You mean:
Central Store Policy > Policy Definitions > Chrome;
Central Store Policy > Policy Definitions > Edge?

Please tell, if in addition to Windows 10 (for example) ADMX files you need to add Windows Server 2022 ADMX files, then what should be done? Combine them all in one folder or there should be 2 separate folders, like:
Central Store Policy > Policy Definitions 21H2;
Central Store Policy > Policy Definitions Windows Server 2022?

I am referring to:
Administrative Templates (.admx) for Windows 10 November 2021 Update V2.msi;
Administrative Templates (.admx) for Windows Server 2022 August 2021 Update.msi

You can maintain separate folders for each.

Thanks for this post.
However, I am wondering what the best practice is in order to update existing GPOs (e.g. : Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome).
Since there is already a dedicated folder with a GUID in the policies folder, is it just enough to overwrite the « .admx » file in the PolicyDefinitions folder ?
Thanks in advance.
