Disable auto update on Edge browser Template missing en-GB so the disabling doesn't work!

I downloaded the Microsoft Edge Template

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/edge/business/download

I follow the instructions on how to install the template from this site.

https://pureinfotech.com/install-microsoft-edge-group-policy-templates-windows-10/

Unfortunately the Template does not have en-GB there's only en-US so I am stuck!! The mechanism doesn't work. Even when I try to set the setting to disabled, it doesn't reflect because my browser version is en-GB!

What are Microsoft thinking? When I check the Edge Chromium updater it is still auto-searching for the update. It doesn't show disabled. So this template isn't actually working due to lack of en-GB language option.

    The language is irrelevant to the policy

     

    you can disable updates via registry keys instead

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-update-policies

     

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\EdgeUpdate]
"UpdateDefault"=dword:00000000
"Update{F3C4FE00-EFD5-403B-9569-398A20F1BA4A}"=dword:00000000
