For the Firewall policy/profile creation, I do not see the "Windows 10 and later" option in my tenant - only "Windows 10 and later (ConfigMgr)", "macOS", or "Windows 10, Windows 11, and Windows Server" are selectable. I am also missing some granularity on Policy type. Is this "Windows 10 and later" selection with the added Policy types rolling out soon, and will this presumably new and better option be replacing the other older Windows options also?

    That's not expected behavior. The "Windows 10 and later" should be available to all tenants. The policy under this platform is the "Windows Firewall rules" which is also available under "Windows 10, Windows 11, and Windows Server." Are you able to access the Windows Firewall rules template?

      I can get to "Windows Firewall Rules" under "Windows 10 and later (ConfigMgr)" or "Windows 10, Windows 11, and Windows Server", but the new options such as specifying "ICMP Types And Codes" are only available in the "Windows Firewall Rules" under "Windows 10, Windows 11, and Windows Server."
