How to Download Administrative Templates (.admx) for Windows 10 Version 20H2

Microsoft has released a set of administrative templates for Windows 10 version 20H2, known as "October 2020 Update". They include a number of *.admx files to apply the Group Policy options properly.

The file set is available in the following languages:

• cs-CZ Czech - Czech Republic
