Default configuration via HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT is ignored

I'm using v 3.5.1 Build 7201, I want to predefine settings to be applied the first time the user open PdfCreator. I followed the instructions in the documentation "predefine-settings/create-default-settings" but the modified default configuration is never applied. For example, if I delete my HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\pdfforge\PDFCreator and I start the application the configuration ignores the settings in HKEY_USERS.DEFAULT. I also tryied to export from the registry a configuration made through the UI and to reimport in HKEY_USERS.DEFAULT\Software\pdfforge\PDFCreator. But it is ignored when the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\pdfforge\PDFCreator is recreated.

This is the export of my current HKEY_USERS.DEFAULT\Software\pdfforge\PDFCreator:

[HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\pdfforge\PDFCreator]

[HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\pdfforge\PDFCreator\Settings]

[HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\pdfforge\PDFCreator\Settings\ApplicationSettings]
"LoggingLevel"="Info"

[HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\pdfforge\PDFCreator\Settings\ConversionProfiles]
"numClasses"="1"

[HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\pdfforge\PDFCreator\Settings\ConversionProfiles\0]
"Guid"="DefaultGuid"
"FileNameTemplate"="mydocument"
"TargetDirectory"="C:\\mydir"

[HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\pdfforge\PDFCreator\Settings\ConversionProfiles\0\AutoSave]
"Enabled"="True"
"EnsureUniqueFilenames"="True"
