[Python] PywinAuto API - child_window - returning multiple elements

GUI Automation of policy change for logoff button. pywinauto.findwindows.ElementNotFoundError: error. How to switch context?

import pywinauto

main_window = app.top_window()
main_window.maximize()

admin_template = app.LocalGroupPolicyEditor.child_window(title="User Configuration", control_type="TreeItem").child_window(title="Administrative Templates", control_type="TreeItem")
admin_template.double_click_input()
