Windows 10: Do the Edge "Official" group policy templates actually work?

I have downloaded and installed the policy templates and installed them on a Win 10 VM (Version v1909) with the specific need to disable the auto updates.
I have set a local policy to updates from all Edge channels:





Yet this setting seems to do nothing. My VM was running Edge 80.0.361.111 on April 10





Then I fired up the VM today to apply the new Patch Tuesday (April 14) updates - with the policy fully in place - and after about an hour - I see this






Clearly - there are other forces at work here. And I am guessing it's a combination of two Scheduled Tasks that appear in Task Scheduler (after a standard install) and the three services that are enable for Edge
Has anyone else tried to stop Edge updates via Group Policy?

Appreciate any info from the field.

Cheers

Sonic.

Local group policy windows settings and administrative templates

When I check local group policy editor, there are user and computer configurations.

There are also software settings, windows settings, and administrative templates.

My questions :

What are the difference between windows settings and administrative templates ?

Why couldn't I find same windows setting group policy on administrative templates ?

How to make windows settings exportable like admx template ?

 

Does Microsoft Have a Full Library of all Group Policy Administrative Templates?

I know Microsoft issues new group policy admin templates, but do they have a single location where they can all be viewed or searched? I dislike using google to search these things down and would love to know where the full listing of MS issued GPO Templates
are.

Thanks for your time & Help.
