Unable to save/restore config

I went into the settings and pressed the Backup User Settings button, saving the .reg file.
Then I removed some sensors, closed the program, opened the program, saw that my changes were still in effect,

then closed the program, ran the .reg file (supposed to set everything back to default - the state I backed up the settings in), opened the program, and the settings were not reset.

I also tried saving the .reg file, closing the program, saving the .ini file to another location but running the reg file and replacing the ini file with the one i had copied still didn't work.

The only thing that works is going into the settings and pressing Reset Preferences.

How can I back up the settings so that I can have different 'profiles' so to speak.

I'm using the portable version if that matters.
 
Restoring settings will only add items that were saved before; it won't remove items that were deleted.
So for such purpose you should delete (reset) all settings before restoring them from REG file. This can be also done by deleting the entire [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HWiNFO64] node.
