Vmware clone is not identical

so, I setup a Win10 VM with Foxit Reader inside and Foxit Reader has a customized configuration.

When cloning this (either linked or full) I noticed that Foxit Reader configuration was not cloned......can someone explain  why this is happening and how to make the clones identical?

This is totally surprising behaviour to me.

 

Thank you!
