    The ADMX file is incorrect. Please find the fresh copy (zipped) here:

    https://1drv.ms/u/s!AjVYLGw0OBWU1wQSmDhsSsdlwvM...

    From an admin Command Prompt, run:

    takeown /f c:\windows\PolicyDefinitions\WindowsUpdate.admx /a

icacls  c:\windows\PolicyDefinitions\WindowsUpdate.admx /grant administrators:F

    Now, unzip the downloaded file and extract WindowsUpdate.admx to the desktop.

    Move "WindowsUpdate.admx" to "c:\windows\PolicyDefinitions". Overwrite existing file when prompted.

    Launch "gpedit.msc".

    Hi AziXYuri,

    Can you please run these commands?

    dir c:\windows\PolicyDefinitions\WindowsUpdate.admx

dir c:\windows\PolicyDefinitions\en-us\WindowsUpdate.adml

certutil -hashfile c:\windows\PolicyDefinitions\WindowsUpdate.admx

certutil -hashfile c:\windows\PolicyDefinitions\en-us\WindowsUpdate.adml

    Post the output.

    If the file sizes or hashes are different than expected, let me share fresh copies for you to download.

    Hi AziXYuri, This Ramesh.

    Please open an admin Command Prompt window and run:

    sfc /scanfile=c:\windows\PolicyDefinitions\WindowsUpdate.admx

sfc /scanfile=c:\windows\PolicyDefinitions\en-us\WindowsUpdate.adml

    Note: If your OS language is not Engish (United States), replace "en-us" in the 2nd command to your locale-- e.g., en-gb

    Post the output of those commands.

    Also, run "winver.exe" and post the screenshot of that dialog.
