There's two possibilities here. The first is that you have GPEditor somehow stuck into filtering something like showing only those policies that are configured or for a certain OS. The other possibility is that you have configured the policy whereby GP Editor only looks on your local machine in c:\windows\inf for ADMs and not in the SYSVOL part of the GPO, AND your local ADM store is incomplete. That would be my best guess.

I go to administrative templates, but the only thing listed under that is WIndows Components (even under that is incomplete). I have tried manually to add templates back, but they still will not show up. I have checked the filtered views, and that does not help. I have had this issue a few weeks ago, but then the issue strangely just went away and I was able to view all my templates again. Now the problem is back. I have not made any changes. I was happily editing my policy, then I closed it, re-opened it, and I could no longer see all my templates. Thanks!
