Windows Defender Policy in GPMC

Hello experts,
We are in the process of creating a baseline policy for Windows Defender for our servers 2016 and windows 10 deployment and noticed there's a category missing "Root" that is missing under Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Windows Defender.

Can someone please help? Thanks so much!

I'm editing it on a windows server 2016 via a GPMC and can't locate the "Root" category under the Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Windows Defender as noted in this MS article -> https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/threat-protection/windows-defender-antivirus/use-group-policy-windows-defender-antivirus

I object to closure as what the author is missing is very obvious. There is no "root" category, but the root of the Windows defender section is what Microsoft is talking about.

I recommend a split between Cliff and myself. since Shaun's could apply since that would mean, the section itself would be missing, although the author writes he is missing a category below it, so he obviously sees the main section.
