Where is my App Package Deployment in Group Policy Editor - group-policy

I've installed visual studio to code and develop a windows store app using HTML5. but It seemed that I didn't have any developer license so I searched on net and found out that I can change the whole policy in this way:
1.Open the Group Policy Editor by typing ‘gpedit.msc’ and running it
2.Change the following settings:
*Computer configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\App Package Deployment\Allow all trusted apps to install – ENABLED
*Computer configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\App Package Deployment\Allow development of Windows Store apps without installing a developer license – ENABLED
but there is no "App Package Deployment" in this address
This is what I see in the group policy editor (Screen Shot)
What should I do now?? how can I access to the folder App Package Deployment???

This is part of the 2012R2 Group Policy Templates
Download Windows8.1-Server2012R2ADMX-RTM.msi
This will allow you to edit local group policy on your local machine with required settings present.

vpn ibm-cloud MotionPro Client on Windows 10 not allowing addition of profiles

I am following steps to create a VPN, for accessing IBM Cloud, by using standalone client. Instructions are here,
https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/iaas-vpn?topic=iaas-vpn-standalone-vpn-clients
It states "Run the MotionPro Setup Wizard. Then, click the MotionPro icon on your desktop and select Profile > Add."
The installation ran fine - seemingly. I have a red A in my task tray and the Secure Tunnel is connected.
However, the Motion Pro window doesn't have any means for interaction - there are no menus - nothing...see screen grab.
I also don't have any MotionPro desktop on my desktop.
MotionPro Window Screengrab
So - MotionPro seems to have installed..but I still have to go thru the browser based logon process...so it's not really doing anything for me.
What am I missing?
Couldn't figure out a way to create a profile using the MotionPro Client provided by IBMCloud.
Eventually found a download link to install myself...
https://support.arraynetworks.net/prx/001/http/supportportal.arraynetworks.net/downloads/downloads.html
I downloaded "Windows MotionPro client 32bit / 64bit"
After running the install, I then had a client executable that displayed a User Interface more like that which I expected and aligned to the steps in the IBMCloud documentation.
Created the profile - and can now quickly establish a VPN.

unable to install google cloud sdk on windows 10

I am trying to install google cloud sdk on my windows 10 machine.
the installer stops at below error. there is no way i dont have the permission on the directory as i just created the directory for the sdk.

Failed to install.
First of all, I would recommend you to check and make sure you are running the install as administrator as you have receiving a “Access is denied” error.
Running a program 'as Administrator' (as in on the right-click menu) and doing a RunAs Administrator are not the same thing:
Running a program 'as Administrator' means that the program still runs under the context of your user account (i.e. the person invoking the program) but using a modified access token that includes membership of the Administrators group. A process started in this way would show as being owned by you in Task Manager.
Using RunAs with the Administrator account really does try to invoke the program under the Administrator account. A process started in this way would show as being owned by Administrator in the Task Manager.
Additionally, you can follow this article more specifically “1. Run a program as administrator from the Start Menu (in Windows 10 and Windows 7) or Start Screen (in Windows 8.1)” point which will help you to run programs as administrator in Windows 10.

Get UWP Store associations using PowerShell or MSBuild

I'm using AppVeyor CI to build my UWP app and want to create an APPX package during every build. However my .gitignore is ignoring the Package.StoreAssociation.xml and MyAppName_StoreKey.pfx which I want to include in the APPX package as they are identifying my app in Windows Store.
Is there any way to get these files using PowerShell or MSBuild or something like that? In other words, is there any command line equivalent to the Project > Store > Associate App with the Store... wizard?
I know I can upload these files to the repo as Secure files but I'd prefer getting the latest files from the Dev Center with every build.
I would say probably not, as the Associate App with the Store Wizard, is an authenticated Wizard which requires a users Microsoft Account to be registered with Visual Studio, Load Credentials from storage or asking for OAuth, and then Visual Studio goes to Microsoft's server to Sign the Certificate and Sign the app with it.
AppVeyor documentation says the currently UWP is not officially supported for UWP, as a Microsoft License is required.
Edit: Does this help?
Is there any way to get these files using PowerShell or MSBuild or something like that? In other words, is there any command line equivalent to the Project > Store > Associate App with the Store... wizard?
No, as #William's explanation. The associating operation needs user's interaction in Visual Studio, this doesn't depend on a public command/API.
In my experience, we need to store(maintain) the latest store association information in somewhere, overwrite the related files and replace the reserved keywords in the app's manifest template file before packaging.

Creating and Exporting Certificate for Remote Desktop Connection Manager v2.7

Can anyone help me create a certificate to use with the new version of Remote Desktop Connection Manager v2.7? I see the new version removed the "Store as plain text" option, but added using a certificate to the list.
I was wondering if anyone knew how to create a certificate (self-signed or whatever) that I could install on both computers to allow me to pass the config file between machines. I haven't been able to find anything online!
Thanks in advance.
If you in Remote Desktop Connection Manager click on the Help menu, and Usage, you will see a web page. On the Contents list, click on Encryption Settings (Under Local Options). There you will see how to create a personal certificate that RDCMan can use.
You will first need to get makecert.exe if you don't have it on your computer. You can get it by installing Windows SDK or Visual Studio.

How create an installer of chrome packaged app?

I need to demonstrate a test version of my app. I DON'T want to load it to the store yet. I want create an installer of my app, so the user can go to my site and install the application by clicking.
First of all, have you read the documentation including developer installation, enterprise installation, publishing on the Web Store only to test accounts, and recent announcements of changes? Assuming you have, then with the exceptions listed in those sources, all apps/extensions must be published in CWS. They don't have to be listed publicly, but they do have to be published there.
Your best bet is to use the test-account feature of CWS for your demonstration.
This is very easy, yo can create the installer vía chrome://extensions > Developer Mode > Package extension.
Then you got the .crx file, you can upload it anywhere and share it. To install it, user must open chrome//extensions and drop the file in the page.
The option to install from webpage by clicking was disabled in Chrome for security reasons.
