Comment: This guide seems straightforward, but I’m curious about a few things. Is there a specific reason why the ADMX file needs to be extracted manually? Couldn’t this process be automated? Also, what happens if the ADML file is missing or corrupted? I’ve had issues with GPO editors in the past, so I’m wondering if there’s a way to troubleshoot this more efficiently. Do you think this method is the most user-friendly approach for managing Edge extensions? I’d love to hear your thoughts on this.
