Log says successfully imported Registry settings. However, don't see the registry after logon.
FAILED : Registry Methods
SUCCESS : I do see the Registry Value appear when I run C:\Program Files\Immidio\Flex Profiles\FlexEngine.exe -r
SUCCESS : It also works as Predefined Settings for Excel application.
Why does it not work as Native Registry Settings import?

Please help.
Using UEM 9.7 with Server 2016 RDS
Are you using a mandatory profile at all? You wouldn't happen to have an antivirus running on your machine? I ask about the antivirus because I once saw McAfee block all HKCU registry changes.
I am using McAfee, but that has nothing to do with these registry settings not being applied. The other HKCU registry keys are being applied just fine.
For instance, UEM is able to set the following Keys also for the sake of my testing:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\UEMTest\Test\16.0\Excel\Options]
"AutoRecoverPath"=hex(2):25,00,48,00,4f,00,4d,00,45,00,53,00,48,00,41,00,52,00,\
45,00,25,00,5c,00,4f,00,66,00,66,00,69,00,63,00,65,00,52,00,65,00,63,00,6f,\
00,76,00,65,00,72,00,5c,00,45,00,78,00,63,00,65,00,6c,00,00,00
