As Microsoft continues to develop the Windows 10 21H2 feature update, we can use the preview builds to get a glimpse of the upcoming features, changes, and new group policies coming to the operating system this fall.

In addition to new features, Microsoft is also adding new group policies for Windows 10 21H2 that we can see in current preview builds.

Below are the seven currently available Windows 10 21H2 group policies coming this fall.

Policy: Not allow sideloaded apps to auto-update in the background on a metered networkLocation: Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > App Package Deployment.

Policy: Apply layered order of evaluation for Allow and Prevent device installation policies across all device match criteriaLocation: Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Device Installation >Device Installation Restrictions.

If these conflicting policy settings are enabled at the same time, the "Apply layered order of evaluation for Allow and Prevent device installation policies across all device match criteria" policy setting will be enabled and the other policy setting will be ignored.
