I think it means exactly what it says in the error, that the file is missing. I can only assume that file relates to one of the policies the force command is trying to change. Did you check to see if the file exists? It does in mine.

Since it’s complaining about the resource file, the missing file is the .adml one with the same name.

You can get the Win10 22H2 group policy templates from MS at
