The Windows section in docs/enterprise/policies.md incorrectly used macOS plist XML examples in “Step 2: Configure policy values,” which conflicted with the ADMX-based Windows deployment model. This PR aligns Step 2 with actual Windows policy administration via GPO/MDM.

  • Scope

    • Updated Windows Step 2: Configure policy values in:
      • docs/enterprise/policies.md
      • docs/enterprise/policies.template.md
    • Kept rendered doc and template content in sync.
  • What changed

    • Removed plist-style XML key/value examples (<key>, <string>, <true/>, <false/>) from the Windows section.
    • Replaced with ADMX administration guidance:
      • Configure via Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc) under Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Visual Studio Code
      • Or configure via MDM/Intune administrative templates
      • Use Enabled/Disabled states and policy UI value fields
      • Leave policies Not Configured when not enforced
    • Added explicit registry backing path: Software\Policies\Microsoft\VSCode.
  • Before/after example

    <!-- removed from Windows Step 2 -->
    <key>AllowedExtensions</key>
    <string>{"microsoft": true, "github": true}</string>
    
    <key>EnableFeedback</key>
    <true/>
    # replaced with
    Configure the imported VS Code ADMX policies in Group Policy Editor or Intune.
    Values are set in policy UI and written under Software\Policies\Microsoft\VSCode.
