I did FC command to compare ADMX files from Windows 10 1709 and existing ones. There are some ADMX files which lost some settings in new ADMX files. <br />
I'm a little concerned about old definitions for Windows 7 because of that reason. Since I only find comments every where that new ones will be downlevel compatible, I will go with it. <br />
<br />
Thank you.

I'm assigned to deploy ADMX templates for Windows 10 1709, but when I look at \\domainname\SYSVOL\domain<wbr />name\Polic<wbr />ies\Policy<wbr />Definition<wbr />s and \\domainname\SYSVOL\domain<wbr />name\Polic<wbr />ies\\Polic<wbr />yDefinitio<wbr />ns\en-US folders. There are many admx and adml files overlapping with same names. <br />
<br />
For example, ActiveXInstallService.admx<wbr /> is also already in Sysvol. <br />
The pic1 is the ones I downloaded and pic2 is the ones already in Sysvol. I'm not sure someone deployed previous version of Windows 10, but I need to update to 1709. How can I do this without causing problems to already active GPOs? <br />
