Administrative Templates disappeared from gpedit

So I added gpedit to my windows 10 home OS Version 1909 with no problems it worked perfectly and I did what I needed to do but recently ever since I updated to version 2004 the Administrative Templates have completely disappeared and if I click on any
folder it says "MMC cannot initialize the snap in"

so what is causing this and how can I fix this?

Windows Administrative Templates

I have a very specific question regarding importing administrative templates.

I have Windows 10 Home (1607) and have installed the Group Policy Editor on the grounds it's much easier than finding the registry keys, and it's also easier to reverse changes. My computer, my rules, my risk.

Gpedit.msc obviously didn't come with Administrative Templates, so my question is:-

If I import the ADMX templates (for 1607) into gpedit, will they overwrite my existing settings, or will they just sit there waiting to be set as required?
