so here is my file: /etc/qubes-rpc/policy/qubes.UpdatesProxy

see screenshot number 1
1) https://ibb.co/87qBcvc

here is the message what I should do with him, see screnshoot number 2
2) https://ibb.co/82TGjJF

Here is my question, I need a more specific answer: What do I have to change in my file now? do I have to delete everything on the 1 Screnshoot and write in there from the 2 Screnshoot? and if so I just have to write the red marked purely or continue to mark the green too? If you want you can also send me a finished pattern with screenshot or text, thanks in advance;)

Maybe the problem lies in the use of $tag:whonix-updatevm, try replacing it with the exact name of the whonix template VMs, e.g.:

whonix-gw-14 $default allow,target=sys-whonix
whonix-ws-14 $default allow,target=sys-whonix

Did you try? Shutdown the Template VM and Restart the sys-whonix VM?

I gave up and reinstalled Qubes 4.0 without Whonix/Anon then loaded the “Stable version of Whonix 14” then recovered my Backed-up VMs that I wanted. Now it works without error.

After reinstalling Qubes 4.0 without Whonix, I installed Whonix with : https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Qubes/Install

The problem probably was that Whonix wasn't setup using Qubes salt.
Manual installation of Whonix is unsupported. Please use Qubes salt as
per documentation.

https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Qubes/Uninstall

In response I improved that error message, created a new wiki page and
added a link from the error message to it.

many thanks for the new page with description and the link, I have Qubes 4. I manually rewrote the file /etc/qubes-rpc/policy/qubes.UpdatesProxy according to your instructions and now it works. Here is my screenshot with which it works now. thank you again
