Errors in Group Policy for Edge 92 Templates
Is anyone seeing errors in the newly released Edge Group Policy Templates for v92?
When I attempt GP Results in the GPMC or when I try to open the Administrative Templates, I get an error in line 737, Row 66 in file msedgeupdate.admx:
<item displayName="$(string.Name_ForceInstallsMachine)">
This appears to be an undefined string in the associated ADML file (msedgeupdate.ADML)
There also appears to be extra characters on line 706 (literally this is the line): \
and
Line 716: </policy>\
My recommendation is to delete line 706, edit line 716 to delete the trailing slash character and delete lines 736-741. Save this to the AD Central Store. It seems to eliminate the error, and given that the description in the affected GPO (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-update-policies#update-policy-override-1) doesn't seem to have any reference to a setting other than Enable (1) or Disable (0), so I'm not sure what "Force Installs Machine" (5) would indicate or do. My theory is that it's a transient entry from bad editing.
Thoughts from the community?

JayBee703, ditto. Also, line 238 (literally this is the line): \
Apparently, Google had implemented the Name_ForceInstallsMachine and Name_ForceInstallsUser in their Omaha open source project (which is Google Updater, I think). I guess Microsoft doesn't need it but missed a few things to completely remove it. If interested, see lines 137 and 139 here: https://github.com/google/omaha/blob/master/omaha/enterprise/test_gold.adml

JayBee703 same here, deleting the item that refers to inexistent string solves the error (737-741)
